Expert and Compassionate Staff Helping Families through their Grief
At Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, our expert staff of bereavement counselors, social workers and trained volunteers come together to support patients and their loved ones in difficult times.
People grieve in different and uniquely personal ways. Whether a child or adult, our grief counselors are trained to help guide those experiencing loss through processing their grief. We can help you focus on what matters most to you. A full range of grief support services allow exploration and understanding of loss, from individual counseling to grief support groups, and special support for children and teens.
A Community of Support for Grief
While grief is a very personal experience, it’s not one that anyone needs to go through alone. Colorado VNA offers numerous support groups to give patients and their families the opportunity to share their experience and find comfort in relating with others who are also exploring their grief. Support groups provide a safe place to express the feelings that accompany loss and offer connection with others.
A range of groups are offered for different types and experiences of grief. Groups we have offered for our community include:
- Daytime Grief Support Group
- Jewish Grief Group
- Survivors of Sudden Loss Grief Group
- Spouse/Partner Loss Grief Group
- Walking Through Grief: A Trail Walking Group
- Creative Arts Workshops
- Meditation & Grief Group
- Community Remembrance Services
For children, the loss of a loved one can be especially confusing and difficult. Bereavement counselors provide individual and family counseling to help guide and support children who have experienced the death of a sibling, parent, grandparent, friend or other loved one.
