Death is inevitable in this life, yet it seems to always catch us off guard with the ones we love.
According to a 2017 survey by the National Funeral Directors Association, 62% of Americans felt it was very important to communicate their funeral plans in advance, yet only 21% had done so. Understandably, it's hard to discuss the possible passing of a family member and plan towards life without the ones we love. Because the effects of a terminal diagnosis can be numbing for a patient and their family, everyone needs outside support to guide the family toward, through and after a crisis that involves the grief that death brings. We don't provide medical equipment, prescriptions or the physical resources traditionally associated with hospice care, but we support families emotionally and spiritually when hospice services have been determined.
We support families before, during and after death through the following types of grief care:
Emotional and spiritual support upon a terminal diagnosis
Strategic stewarding of family resources
Financial Consultation upon the passing of a loved one
Funeral service support and implementation
Post-death check-ups on family and loved ones
Pressing On stands in the gap for those affected by a terminal illness and the passing of a loved one
