Bereavement Support

Arnprior – Grief Support Group.

Meets 1st Thursday – Monthly. Pre-registration Required 

Hospice Renfrew staff and volunteers understand that grieving often begins with the first news of a life-threatening diagnosis and continues throughout the journey that follows. You may have to deal with an entire range of emotions and physical reactions that create pain, fear, loss, fatigue or loneliness.

It is important for you to be able to talk openly about these experiences, reactions and feelings. Grief support is an integral part of the services Hospice Renfrew offers to its Residents, their families and our community. We provide a variety of supportive services for those who are at end-of-life, for those grieving before or after the death of a loved one or dealing with other losses associated to caregiving, change in health status and other life situations.

Our Grief & Bereavement Counsellor and specially trained volunteers can help you through your experience by assisting you to deal with the more immediate tasks of living while grieving.
