Grief Support

At Joliet Area Community Hospice (JACH), we understand the unique concerns of those grieving. Our grief support programs help you:

• Share your grief journey
• Understand common grief reactions
• Begin to heal and start to feel like yourself again
• Grow through listening and supporting others

Joliet Area Community Hospice’s Bereavement Program is available to both hospice families and community members who are coping with the death of a loved one.

Services Offered:

Individual and Family Grief Counseling 

Losing a loved one can have a profound effect on our emotions, thoughts and functioning, as well as on our family. Debriefing the death of a loved one with a Bereavement Counselor gives the person grieving a chance to process their loss individually or as a family. Learn more >
