Bereavement
“Grief never ends…But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love.”

One-on-one Support
One-on-one grief support is available through Hospice of Homer. Please contact our office (235-6899) or stop by to speak with someone. Our volunteers speak from the heart and from their own experience, but more importantly they listen. It’s possible to connect via phone call or in person depending on individual preference.
Bereavement Correspondence
This program provides support in the form of twelve monthly letters catered to your loss. Though sometimes tear-inducing, these letters also provide hope and something to look forward to during the difficult months after a loss. Please contact us if you have questions or to enroll in the program. 235-6899 or Director@HospiceOfHomer.org
