Center for Grief & Healing


Since its inception, Hinds Hospice has understood the value of providing ongoing support to families after the death of a loved one. 

Initially, this grief support was provided primarily to the family members of our Hinds Hospice patients by our bereavement staff. Our bereavement program expanded in response to ongoing requests for specialized support from our communities in Fresno, Madera, and Merced Counties.

Our counseling services include:

  • Counseling for individuals diagnosed with a life-limiting illness
  • Counseling for those whose loved one is facing a life-limiting illness
  • Counseling for individuals and families impacted by the death of a loved one
  • Counseling for individuals and couples facing infant or pregnancy loss and/or infertility, as well as those needing support who are in pregnancy after a loss

Our counseling services are not limited to patients and families that are being served by Hinds Hospice. Our grief counseling services are open to anyone in the community needing grief support.

​To find out more about our counseling services, please call the Center for Grief & Healing at (559) 248-8579 or email: centerforgriefandhealing@hindshospice.org.

Unfortunately, due to the limits of confidentiality, outside guests, such as student observers, are not permitted to attend grief support groups.


“HALO” (Healing After a Loss by Overdose)

Healing After a Loss by Overdose emerged in January 2024 as a lifeline for families in central California facing the intense impact of drug overdose. The HALO program is specifically designed for families grappling with the profound challenges associated with the disease of addiction. Recognizing the escalating occurrence of drug overdoses in the Central Valley, HALO is positioned to be a beacon of solace. The program prioritizes the emotional well-being of those who have lost someone to a drug overdose, offering a compassionate space for shared experiences and providing valuable tools to navigate the complexities of grief. By fostering a supportive community, HALO endeavors to guide individuals through the healing process, empowering them to cope with the profound loss of a loved one and find strength in shared experiences.

The Center for Grief & Healing at Hinds Hospice was developed in 2005 in response to the growing need for support throughout our Central Valley communities. The Center upholds our belief in the importance of support during the grieving process, and the connection of support in healing.
