At Abundant Hospice, our services extend to the family and friends who have been caring for their loved one even up to the end. Coping with the grief of losing someone, even after a long-term illness, can be devastating, which is why we offer bereavement support to all who are affected.
The passing of a close friend or family member affects everyone differently, but these are some feelings you might experience
Although this person has passed away, you still feel as if he or she has never left. In other words, accepting their death is a challenge.
Whether you were present, or you have just received word of your loved one’s passing, processing this event takes time. Thus, you may have a hard time believing the person is no longer physically present, which is normal.
Grief is often accompanied by anger. Whether dealing with a difficult situation on top of the loss or coping with memories, anger can take us by surprise. Acknowledging and resolving this phase is important to the grieving process.
Many people experience confusion at any point in the grieving process. This comes with having difficulty concentrating or sorting out your thoughts.
Naturally, you will feel sad at such a profound loss. Sadness, like any other emotion related to grief, can be expressed in numerous ways. Never feel like there is any one correct way, as this affects everyone differently.
Losing someone, even in the situation of a long illness, can still make you feel like your world has been profoundly shaken. It is not unheard of for a person to experience shock after their loved one’s passing.
This journey is not yours to undertake alone, and we understand that even when you are surrounded by family and friends, you can still feel overwhelmed by the gamut of emotions related to grief.
Our team wants you to know that you are part of our family, and we are here to help you whether you need advice, a hand to hold or just someone to listen.
At Abundant Hospice Care, we offer personalized bereavement support for our patients’ families and all who are affected by the loss. You can access our counselors for group support or if you need one-on-one counseling. We are here for you.
Terri Schirmer2023-05-12Michelle did a great job setting up Hospice services for my father in law. She expedited services when we needed them and continues to check on us. Thank you Michelle!
Tara Johnson2023-05-08Abundant Hospice met our every need in a caring and timely manner. Michelle came as soon as I called to admit my loved one. She checked on me every day and after my mom passed. At this time, she cared for both of my parents. Ashton, Sylvia and Melissa gave me such comfort with their prompt and loving care. They were always available, and Ali was with me to direct service caretakers. I highly recommend this incredible company for the first rate we received. They are still caring for my other parent. And I am confident she is receiving the best care available.

Steve Solis2023-03-25This facility was a nice place for my mom to spend her final days. Everyone was so nice and attentive to whatever my mom needed and we appreciate their fine hospitality. We were able to stay there for as long as we wanted anytime and they always made us feel welcome. Even the transition from the hospital to the facility was smooth and very quick and easy. Communication was always there and we have absolutely no complaints about anything at all. We would recommend this facility to anyone we know. Thank you again for making this difficult time easier for us.

Tracy Bradfield2023-03-16Michelle Balero has such tremendous compassion for all those that she engages with. She goes above and beyond to take care of the patient but also the family. It is such a difficult time in our lives but she makes the transition so much more bearable by her supportive care❤️
Tabatha Truelove2023-03-13Our girls are 19 and 23 years old and their amazing father Sean has fought a good fight but is ready to transition and stop his pain. I will start with my history as a hopsice case manager and as a hospice team director because I am very aware of the services hospice offers and I would like to say Michelle Balero thus far has gone above and beyond. She worked all day yesterday to get my girls father in Abundants IPU. She didn't stop until she got it done! She has kept in contact with us, responded to any questions, and went out of the way to make this experience better for my daughters. I am very sure I will be leaving more reviews and we are so happy to know Sean will leave this world with dignity and love from all!
