It took my folks time to accept this - they didn't like strangers in the house. But you've got to have help. You've got to take care of yourself. Let people come in so you can take a day off. Accept all the help you're offered. If you can have hospice, grab it with both hands. Don't hesitate. It takes the pressure off the family. It's a great thing. When it's over, at least you know you did all you could. - Bev, Family Member	The death of a loved one can be the greatest pain people face. The grief we experience in response is a normal and natural reaction to that loss. And the way we grieve is as unique as each individual is unique. Many worry that their feelings and reaction are not normal or natural. To understand the differing ways grief affects one's life - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - helps one to understand their unique grief. There is no predictable pattern or time frame. It is a process that does not occur in any set order. The Wings of Hope Hospice Grief Support services aid this journey. Grief Support services are offered at no charge to all persons in our community who are grieving. Family Grief Support Family Grief Support is a program of intensive support to families of hospice patients during the 13 month period following the death of their loved one. Individual sessions, group activities (as listed below), and periodic mailings throughout the 13 months provide an extra measure of support. If a grieving person wishes to continue grief work following the 13 month service period, grief support remains available indefinitely. Grief Volunteer Support Grief Volunteer Support is available to all hospice families who choose this extra support from a trained hospice volunteer. Growing Through Grief Growing Through Grief is a five-part educational series designed to help adult participants understand the grieving process. Grief Support Groups Grief Support Groups include ongoing, drop in support groups offered at locations throughout Allegan County. Holiday Workshops Holiday Workshops are offered for adults coping without a loved one during the holiday season. Annual Remembering Service Annual Remembering Service is an event for hospice families and hospice team members to grieve together while remembering those they have lost. Community Educators Community Educators are available to speak to your civic, business, or church group on coping with grief and/or ways to support others in grief.
