Bereavement Services at Kaua‘i Hospice
At Kaua‘i Hospice, compassionate bereavement support is an essential part of the complete care we offer — available at no cost to patients’ families and loved ones.
Our Bereavement Care Program is uniquely designed to meet the needs of Kaua‘i’s diverse communities, shaped by years of experience supporting families through loss. We provide personalized grief support to all patient family members for at least 12 months following the death of their loved one.
Compassionate Support for Every Stage of Grief
Grieving is a deeply personal journey, often lasting much longer than expected. Our program is built on two foundations: education and emotional support. We help families and friends understand the stages of grief, recognizing that healing can take months — or even years — and that everyone’s process is different.
Bereavement services begin as soon as a family experiences the trauma of loss. In the early stages, many people feel numb — a natural emotional cushion for overwhelming grief. As time passes and the shock wears off, the reality of the loss often becomes even more profound, which is why our continued support is so crucial.
Open to the Entire Community
Our Bereavement Care Program is open to anyone grieving the death of a loved one — regardless of when or where the loss occurred. Recognizing the powerful influence of culture and community, we offer a variety of support options, including:
-
One-on-one counseling
-
Group bereavement support sessions
-
Educational resources on grief and healing
At Kaua‘i Hospice, we are here to walk alongside you through every step of your healing journey.
