Counseling & Bereavement

For those who have suffered a loss, counseling is available to our community through Hospice Care of the Lowcountry’s Bereavement Services department. It makes no difference regarding whether the person who died was a Hospice Care of the Lowcountry patient, where the person lived, or the relationship of the survivor. It also doesn’t matter how long ago the loss occurred.

We stay in touch with our patients’ families for 13 months following the death of their loved one. Because that year will include many “firsts,” on-going support is vital to help survivors on their path to healing. Volunteers send scheduled mailings, information packets and special “care notes” to lend support and let families know that we are available if they need us.

Bereavement Support Groups

Barbara Scobey, our Bereavement Services Coordinator, facilitates several different support groups that are open to the public at no charge. Private one-on-one sessions are also available.

Youth Grief Support

Our Kids Path Bereavement Program offers support groups for school children, educational programs for parents and teachers, and a variety of family counseling opportunities. This program is offered as needed. Private sessions are also offered upon request, at no charge.

Spiritual Counseling

Compassionate care at the end of life includes support for the spiritual concerns of our patients and families. Our chaplains are important members of the Hospice Care of the Lowcountry team, providing spiritual counsel and guidance to anyone who requests it.

Spiritual counseling is intended to supplement — not replace — the support and guidance of one’s own ministers, rabbis, priests or other spiritual leaders or guides. We do not represent any one religion or denomination, nor do we ask that our patients specify any. We consider that all people are spiritual, whether they are religious or not.

Our services are available for those who seek to address spiritual issues with someone who has experience in this area.

Volunteer with us!
