Caregiver & Grief Support

Grief support is available to hospice and palliative care families who have experienced the death of a loved one.

The death of a loved one can change your world forever. So much of how we define ourselves and what gives our lives meaning is a reflection of the people we deeply love. When they die, we question who we are without them and struggle to find meaning and purpose. Grief is the high price we pay for loving someone and can be felt mentally, emotionally and physically. If you are grieving or supporting someone who is grieving, we hope that you will find the following information to be helpful and comforting.View our Service Area here

At Adoray Hospice, we believe that:

Grief is a normal and natural response to the death of a loved one.
Within each person is the innate capacity to heal.
The duration and intensity of the grief experience are unique for each person.
A supportive and caring environment can facilitate the process of healing.
We are here to support you. Please call 715.629.1888 or 800.359.0174 to speak with a grief and loss expert or explore our website for additional information and resources.

Testimonials

I want to thank you again for all the kind, considerate and wise support you have offered me in the past 13 months. You always had the best "pearls" in words at each stage of my grief. I know I'm not "there" yet, but those "pearls" surface and help me embrace my feelings.
– wife of a hospice patient
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful ways you have shown me light and hope. From tears to dreams you accept it all, with grace and understanding. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Like the bird in the tree we can, I can, weather life's storms and losses.
– wife of a hospice patient
Our heartfelt thanks for all your kindness in caring for my mother during her illness and death. I know it was a great comfort to my Mom to have you folks involved with her care. There was also comfort for us in having some of the same people who cared for my Dad. Thanks also for coming to the memorial service, it was much appreciated and makes it obvious that you are part of a loving process of caring for the dying person and family, and not just running a business. Keep up the fine work!
– son of a hospice patient
Thank you for your help and support these last couple of months while [our loved one] has been in hospice. You have all been very supportive, loving and kind while caring for [him] in his final days on this earth. Thank you also for the beautiful rose arrangement and grief support materials.
– wife and family of a hospice patient
I had no idea how much your support would mean to us at the end of my wife’s life. Having Adoray and your kind people was like a warm light from heaven above during my wife’s last few days. Your people were comforting and very loving during this most difficult time.
