Grief Support

Bereavement care is offered to patients and family members. Grief support services include support in dealing with loss and grief, counseling, and referrals to other community services. Family members may also be referred to or choose bereavement support from other community agencies.

Aspirus also offers select bereavement services to the general community in some locations. These services focus on normal grief reactions and are not designed to meet the individual needs of a specific bereaved person.

Featured Grief Support

WINGS

Wings is an internationally recognized resource for grief education, offering compassionate support to those navigating loss. Whether you've lost a child, spouse, parent, or friend, grief changes you, often in ways unseen by others.

Wings provides guidance, resources, and a community to help you rebuild after loss.
