We meet with Kathie Supiano to learn about the impact COVID-19 is having on grief and bereavement, the increased risk of complicated grief as well as ways some of the risk factors for complicated grief can be addressed.
To better support our clients and community, Faith and Hope Hospice in Pasadena CA is developing several online support groups. We are currently conducting a survey to understand the needs of the people we serve. This will help us provide relevant services, including topics of interest, duration of group, days & times to meet, and a few other details. This is another way we are making Faith & Hope Hospice the best hospice Los Angeles has to offer.
