BEREAVEMENT PROGRAMS
Bereavement Follow-Up Program: A package containing information about bereavement services is mailed to individuals referred to us by the Chilliwack Hospice Palliative Care Team. These referrals are from the hospital and the community.
Bereavement Visitation Program: We occasionally have requests for bereavement one-on-one visits. We are able to provide this service if we have volunteers available.
First Step Grief Support Group: An 11 week closed program that takes place Monday evenings at the Chilliwack Hospice Society's "Rotary Hospice Centre" from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. It is offered as necessary up to 3 times annually. The group is for individuals who have experienced a recent loss.
