Bereavement Counselor

The Bereavement Counselor provides bereavement counseling and assessment for those affected by the loss of an Empath Health patient. An individualized bereavement plan of care is developed by the IDT and updated by the bereavement counselor as indicated. Family members, friends and caregivers of a Hospice patient may receive ongoing bereavement follow-up for a minimum of 13 months following the death of the patient as requested.

The bereavement counselor, working in collaboration with the IDT, is responsible for assisting the bereaved clients in the grief process and integrating the loss into their life.
