Comforting and Counseling in Loss

Hospice & Homecare of Reno County provides bereavement services to anyone experiencing grief over loss. 

Our bereavement team is available 24/7 to offer comfort, a caring presence and helpful counsel before, during and after the loss, even if months or years have passed. 

We provide – free of charge – holistic support for cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of grief.

Through visits, phone calls and letters, HHRC’s staff helps the bereaved specifically through the first year of holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other times of remembrance. Services, however, can continue for a minimum of 15 months following the loss.

Children’s Bereavement

Our Children’s Bereavement program is designed specifically for school-aged children (kindergarten through 17) and focuses on helping children understand their feelings, process their grief, recognize that they are not alone, and learn coping skills as they integrate loss of a loved one into their life.  Learn more.

Our weekly support groups provide a safe gathering place for members of our community who share the common bond of loss. Learn more.
