Hospice care doesn’t end with the needs of the patient. The passing of a loved one brings enormous changes, and everyone tends to grieve in their own way. Bereavement care is an essential part of the experience, helping to meet the needs of the entire family. Anticipating grief reactions and providing ongoing support for the bereaved is part of the services offered at Mesilla Valley Hospice. A very important part of Mesilla Valley Hospice is the Bereavement and Grief Support we offer to you following the death of a loved one. We provide grief support and can teach grief coping skills to all family members, as well as to extended family and friends.
Grief Support Services are different from the Hospice visits that were provided to your loved one. All Grief Services and Grief Counseling sessions are scheduled by appointment.
• Family counseling
• Counseling and support for children and teens of all ages
• Counseling by phone or via computer by telehealth
• Support by phone from a counselor or bereavement volunteer
• Grief Support Groups
• Referral to community resources
• Educational presentations on grief, loss, death and dying
• Education on grief coping skills
The following groups gather at Mesilla Valley Hospice: 299 E. Montana Ave. The groups meet at the Gerald H. Deabel Wing of Mesilla Valley Hospice, located towards the back of the building, on the right hand side. The entrance is through the driveway on the right, as you’re facing the front of the building. There is a sign by that driveway, labeled “Private Property” but please drive into this parking lot and park by the building or near the storage sheds. You must ring the doorbell to the Gerald H. Deabel Wing to enter.
