Bereavement Support

Not just for families of hospice patients – for community members too.

Many struggle this time of year with grief and loss. Hospice of the Northwest offers a robust community bereavement program open to anyone within our service area, regardless of prior hospice use.

Our self-service lending library has resources that range in style from the very personal to more guidebook-like, and in intent from inspirational to practical.

If your patients need support please encourage them to self-refer and reach out to Hospice of the Northwest this season.

For referral information or to learn more, please visit HospiceNW.org/Bereavement or contact the Bereavement Support Center directly at 360-814-5570.

For more information, call our providers at 360-814-5550 or email:

All Palliative Pearls and other resources can be found by clicking Providers at the top of this page.

If you would like to receive monthly Palliative Pearls via email, please email Pam Putney at [email protected].
