GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP:

Our ongoing support group is open to anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one. Please call the Hospice & Palliative Care Office at (970) 641-4254 to confirm monthly meeting date and time.

Camp Good Grief! is a grief camp available to children in grades 3 – 8 who have had someone special in their lives die. The camp provides a positive and healing environment for children to meet others in similar situations. Gunnison Valley Health Hospice has been able to sponsor trips to the camp for local children dealing with grief. Camp Good Grief! is hosted by Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado and meets every summer in Cedaredge, CO.

Camp Good Grief! is a special opportunity available to children in grades 3-8.
