If you've lost someone you love, you don't have to go through it alone. Our counselors help hospice families and others cope with loss. We can help you.
The time following loss can be confusing, frightening and unclear, as people are confronted with thoughts, feelings, behaviors and attitudes that are unfamiliar to them. Many people have found Hosparus Grief Counseling Center to be a helpful path through grief. The services and programs are like "bridges" that can help us find our way through the depths of grief.
Counseling can help during trying times. The Hosparus Grief Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling services for all parties affected by the end of life.
Coping with grief and loss. There is no greater life-changing loss than the death of someone who has been a significant and important part of your life. Grief after loss is natural and normal, although most grieving people feel that nothing is "normal" after loss.
We provide a wide array of bereavement services at no charge to families of hospice patients (served by Hosparus in our region and hospices in other areas of the country) for 13 months after death. Please note that not all programs are available at each location.
Located near you. With locations in Louisville, Shelbyville, New Albany and Elizabethtown, our Hosparus Grief Counseling Center offers the region's most comprehensive counseling services for children, adolescents, adults and families coping with loss. To find out which program is best for you or your family, call the Hosparus Grief Counseling Center or the Hosparus in your area. See below for more information about various services for those coping with loss.
