Bereavement Services

Cross Timbers Hospice care does not end at the time of the loved one's passing. Our bereavement services can help assess and monitor an individual's coping mechanisms and grief processes, allowing us to custom tailor care to their needs. We educate hospice families on the normal grieving process and help guide them through utilization of existing support systems. For high-risk individuals, we can provide referrals and intervention as indicated. Since staying connected during this time is so important, we provide frequent follow-ups through phone calls, visits and invitations to planned activities and special events.

Additional Resources

• Volunteers: Specially trained volunteers are available to hospice families to assist in the period of bereavement to help the bereaved utilize and expand their support.
