Preparing For Your
Loved One’s Passing

Hospice care is given to those who have been given a prognosis of six months or less to live if their disease follows its natural course. With this sudden revelation, the family of a loved one must also begin to prepare themselves mentally for the passing of the patient. To prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for the journey that you will take with the patient, we recommend visiting our Lomita office and speaking to our counselors and taking advantage of the bereavement and grief services we offer. Our services include:

  • Memorial support
  • Regular home visits from grief support specialists, chaplains, and volunteers
  • Quarterly bereavement/grief letters of support
  • Educational materials
  • Grief/bereavement telephone support
  • Grief/bereavement support groups
  • Community resource referrals
  • Community support groups

To help understand the hospice experience your loved one will receive during their last days and how you should prepare yourself along the way, we also recommended reading:
