Grief & Bereavement - Center for Hope Hospice support

The Center for Hope Hospice's care team, comprised of spiritual counselors, social workers and bereavement service staff, offers support before, during and after the passing of a loved one.  

As per Medicare Hospice conditions of participation, the Center for Hope Hospice provides emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual support to family caregivers and close friends of a patient from the time of admission until 13 months after their death. Specialized support groups in our Scotch Plains location provides a safe space for bereaved individuals to navigate their grief journey, gain support, and share experiences, promoting a positive grief recovery.

Our Grief Support Group is divided into 8 sessions. Each session will summarize the key factors related to grief and loss. Attendance, resources, and materials are free.

Our in-person support group allows individuals to share experiences and coping mechanisms related to grief and loss. In-person grief support groups meet weekly at the Center for Hope Administration Building, located at 1900 Raritan Road in Scotch Plains, NJ.

We are grateful to walk alongside you as you begin the journey of grief and recovery.
