When someone you love dies, the world does not stop, even though it feels like yours has. Some days you may feel numb and just go through the motions. Other days, the smallest reminder can bring you to tears.
Bereavement care at AlēvCare Hospice is here to support you in the weeks and months after a loss – offering steady, compassionate guidance so you feel seen, understood, and less alone in your grief.

What Bereavement Care Is
Bereavement care is the support we offer to family members and close loved ones after a patient dies. It is not about “fixing” grief or rushing you to move on. It is about walking with you as you adjust to life without the person you love.
At AlēvCare Hospice, bereavement care may include:
- Check-ins from our bereavement team after the death
- Phone calls, letters, or resources tailored to your needs
- Grief education that explains common feelings and reactions
- Referrals to support groups or counselors when needed
- Additional support for children and teens through our Child Life Specialist and youth-focused grief resources
You are welcome to take what is helpful and set aside what is not. There is no “right way” to receive support.
How Grief Can Feel After Hospice
Grief is not a straight line, and it does not look the same for everyone. You may feel relief that your loved one is no longer suffering, and then feel guilty for that relief. You might miss them deeply, even if you thought you were “ready.” You may notice that you are more tired, irritable, or forgetful than usual, or that it is harder to concentrate at work or make decisions.
Our role is to normalize what you are experiencing, help you understand what is common in grief, and watch for times when extra support might be important.
How We Support You After a Loss
Bereavement support at AlēvCare Hospice is relational and personal – rooted in our Grow Small philosophy that says every family deserves to feel known, not forgotten, after the funeral is over.
Our team may:
- Reach out with a call or note to check in on how you are doing`
- Listen as you talk about your loved one, your memories, and your questions
- Offer simple tools for navigating tough days and important dates
- Provide printed or digital resources about grief for adults, children, and teens
- Suggest local support groups, counselors, or faith-based resources if you’d like additional help
You are free to share as much or as little as you feel ready to share. We move at your pace.

Explore Your Care OptionsWhen To Reach Out for Bereavement Support
You do not have to be in crisis to ask for help. Bereavement support can be helpful:
- In the first weeks after the death, when everything feels surreal
- A few months later, when the “busy” tasks are done and reality settles in
- Around anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays
- Whenever you feel stuck, alone, or unsure about what you are feeling
You can contact us even if it has been some time since your loved one died. Grief has its own timeline.
