When grief enters our lives, our world changes. Let us help you cope with the change—and the grief. Just as every loss is unique, the grieving experience is different with each loss, and every individual grieves differently.
Our grief department includes professionally trained, compassionate grief specialists who provide support groups, one-on-one meetings and presentations. They also offer literature, resources and referrals, as needed, to help you cope with your grief and work toward healing.
Grief Support Services
Our grief program is a community resource available to anyone who has experienced a loss through death, whether they had hospice services or not. We provide services to families, individuals, schools, churches and workplaces. Our services are offered free of charge to adults, youth and families coping with the death of a loved one of any age.
If your loved one died while under the care of Hospice of the Red River Valley, you can receive grief support services, free of charge, for up to 13 months following a death.
Grief Classes & Workshops
We offer grief classes and workshops throughout the year covering a variety of topics for working through your grief journey. Classes are free. Pre-registration is required to attend classes and workshops. To view our upcoming grief classes, click here.

Anyone who has lost a loved one through death may attend support groups offered at Hospice of the Red River Valley. Support groups are free.

Grief Support for Children & Teens
Children and teens who have experienced loss through death or a crisis situation require special attention and care.
