Bereavement

Our Services

Heritage Hospice, Inc. provides care and support for individuals and their families in the last stages of an incurable illness. Services, however, do not end with the death of the patient. For up to 13 months following the death, specially trained hospice bereavement staff and volunteers are available to provide assistance to family members dealing with grief and bereavement.

Sarah_s_Heart_Logo.jpgSarah's Heart Bereavment Camp for Kids

This is an annual, one-day, fun-filled camp that offers grief education and support to children. It is designed for kids ages 6 to 12 who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life--a parent, sibling, grandparent, or other family member within the last 2 years.

 Each camper has the opportunity to remember their loved one, while also enjoying traditional camp experiences. This camp is staffed by certified/licensed professionals and volunteers of Heritage Hospice, Inc.

 This year our camp will be held on July 12, 2024 at Camp Horsin' Around.
