| Bereavement Support Programs offer compassionate, non-judgemental bereavement support to individuals and families experiencing loss. Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice recognizes living with a life-threatening illness can involve many losses over time, for both the individual and family members. We offer support throughout the illness experience as well as after death. Our goal is to provide a safe, caring, and compassionate environment allowing individuals to express their grief and move towards healing. |

This easy paced walking group is a perfect opportunity to reenergize our tired bodies while sharing and listening to others who have also experienced loss.
