Though hospice professionals and volunteers are there to help, they encourage patients to be as active and to do as much for themselves as possible. Hospice Care does not stop after death Hospice care does not stop after death. We know that grieving the loss of a loved one is a natural part of healing. Its intensity and length vary from person to person. Hospice offers bereavement support groups and grief counseling to help the family adjust for one year after death.
Volunteers offer telephone support and card sending to survivors on a regular basis.
The volunteers invite the bereaved to support groups, memorial services and other special events related to their loss. This camp is offered at no charge. Camp Nabe is a three-day camp experience under the direction of licensed professionals Community Hospice of Ashland, Community Hospice of Huntington, and Marshall University School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry work together in completing this camp. Camp Nabe is the first week of August. All children stay in secure, comfortable cabins.
