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.
Upcoming Schedules
Spousal Loss Bereavement Group
This group offers a warm, supportive place for people who are adjusting to life after the loss of a spouse or partner. The group provides an opportunity to connect with others who understand this unique kind of loss, share experiences and challenges, and talk about the many changes that come with grief. Together, members can find support, understanding, and practical ways to move through this difficult time while honoring their own individual grieving process.

We were beyond delighted with the compassionate and professional care we received from Jansen. I would particularly like to recognize our nurse, Noleen, who made a difference in how we experienced my mother’s passing. I want to share my tremendous thanks and appreciation.
