The fall 2007 Bereavement Facilitators
training class gathers at the hospice house for a group photo.
The
Caring Hearts Bereavement Program at Hospice of Hancock County offers individual
and group support for adults, children and teens after a death from illness,
accident or suicide. Hospice of Hancock County supports schools and churches
according to their needs and interests. Hospice of Hancock County shares
their lending library list with all public libraries, and notifies guidance
counselors when local and state workshops are available. Hospice of Hancock
County offers Bereavement Services for the families of our patients and
for people in the community at large. Any agency or individual who wants
individual or group bereavement services please contact Mary-Carol Griffin,
Bereavement Services Coordinator @ 667-2531.
 Hospice of Hancock County also invites you to explore another web site
which offers information related to death and dying in America. The Web site includes a 15-part series, “Finding Our Way: Living with Dying in America.” The articles are written by national leaders in the fields of medicine, sociology, theology and culture and explore issues facing seriously ill Americans, their families, caregivers and communities. The information can be accessed through
