Savior Hospice Care

Grief Support

When someone you loved and cared about passes away, grief is a common response. You might feel a variety of emotions, like depression or loneliness. You could also be experiencing that for a number of different reasons. Everyone grieves differently. Accepting your feelings, taking care of yourself, and seeking support from Grief Support San Jose groups will help you recover. At Savior Hospice, we are aware that grieving can begin weeks or months prior to death and continue for weeks or months following death. When a patient is in our care, as well as for up to 13 months after their death, if necessary, we offer counseling for grieving and bereavement to their loved ones. We will always be by your side, listening to you and helping you get through this difficult time.

  • Physical reactions include nausea, trouble breathing, crying, confusion, diminished stamina, dry mouth, and changes in feeding and sleeping routines.

  • Feeling guilty about what you did or didn’t do
  • Loss of appetite or overeating
  • Withdrawal from friends, family, and traditional hobbies
