What Is a Hospice Bereavement Coordinator?

A hospice bereavement coordinator is a trained professional specializing in grief support for families of hospice patients. Their primary goal is to provide emotional, psychological, and practical support to help individuals process their loss. Bereavement coordinators serve as a bridge between hospice care and the resources families need after the loss of a loved one.

5 Key Responsibilities of a Hospice Bereavement Coordinator

Bereavement coordinators begin their work before a patient passes. They offer counseling sessions to family members, preparing them for the emotional and practical aspects of loss. These sessions address anticipatory grief, which can occur when a loved one is nearing the end of life.
No two people experience grief the same way. Bereavement coordinators create customized support plans that cater to the unique emotional and cultural needs of each family. These plans often include one-on-one counseling, family meetings, and group support.
Many individuals find comfort in sharing their experiences with others who understand their pain. Coordinators organize and lead support groups, providing a safe space for open dialogue about grief and healing.
Hospice bereavement coordinators are knowledgeable about local and national resources, such as counseling services, financial assistance programs, and grief workshops. They ensure families have access to the help they need during and after hospice care.
Support doesn’t end after the funeral. Coordinators check in regularly with families for up to 13 months after a patient’s passing, offering continued guidance and ensuring no one feels forgotten in their grief.
