Bereavement Services

Grief is a natural and healthy response to loss, and affects us all at some point in our lives.

Each person reacts differently to grief, and it can be a very isolating experience. Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care is here to help you.

We have clinical social workers, specially trained counselors and volunteers who have experience dealing with all areas of bereavement. We offer individual counseling services as well as bereavement support groups.

Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care understand that everyone grieves differently. That is why we offer our families a variety of bereavement services for up to a period of 13 months following the death of their loved one.

Our bereavement services include:

  • Individual counseling sessions
  • Support groups
  • Phone calls
  • Condolence cards
  • Mailings after the first, third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth month
  • Closing letter after the twelfth month
  • Anniversary cards

Grief Support

Grief is a healthy and fitting response to loss, a tribute to a loved one who has died. Please join us to navigate the grief journey in a safe, supportive environment.

Bereavement programs specifically for children are provided through BCW Tree House.

My mom continued to decline but I was never alone. The on-call nurses on the after-hours number are amazing. As a first-time care giver their support was invaluable. The Jansen organization has found a way to find truly kind and caring people to employee. I hope you realize how wonderful your staff is. I cannot stress how important the kindness and compassion of your staff is to family members caring for their loved ones. My mom was able to pass away in her home as she wished.
