When a hospice
patient dies, members of the hospice team offer personal and
group support services. Bereavement services are provided
for families and loved ones who have experienced a loss and to
the community at large. Experienced bereavement counselors
provide group support for up to 13 months following the death of
a loved one.
Our bereavement
service extends beyond our Hospice Program and the families we
serve through it. Bereavement events are offered to the
community at no charge. Annual memorial services are held
in the winter and spring for our bereaved families and for
members of the community who have suffered a loss.
We invite you to join our
Bereavement Support Group.
The group is meeting on Wednesday evenings for six weeks, and
began on March 3, 2010. Come meet with others who
share your experience and give and receive support. Click

Our
annual Winter Memorial Service also serves as the setting
for our Hospice Memorial Tree, which is adorned with lights in
honor of loved ones who have died. The Hospice Tree,
located on the Oakville Green, is illuminated throughout the
holiday season.
