Bereavement
Our talented team of dedicated professionals is devoted to providing the highest level of skilled home care services that our patients need and deserve. Because… for us, it’s personal.
The VNA Bereavement Program is a complementary resource serving the needs of our patients, families, and the community. Our trained staff and volunteers provide compassionate, supportive care to those who have experienced a loss and are on their journey through grief. Grief is a normal, natural, and necessary response to life’s losses and changes, which everyone experiences.
Our bereavement program includes:
- Bereavement Mailings
- Supportive Phone Calls and Visits
- Support Groups
- Community Resource Referrals
- Butterfly Release Program
- Memorial Service
- Community Education

Community Support Groups
GriefShare
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief—in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
