We provide Residence Hospice Care, Bereavement Care, and Community Hospice Care programs such as in-home visits, day hospice and Caregiver Support. Our services meet the highest care standards in a setting that reflects as closely as possible a comfortable home environment.
When someone you care about has died, you are faced with a difficult and challenging journey. You may feel pain, fear, lost, fatigue or a sense of loneliness but you do not need to grieve alone.
Hospice Care Ottawa’s programs and services offers immediate support for a period of time after the death of a loved one due to a life limiting illness. Our programs and services follow a peer led model and offer a variety of programs and services to meet individual bereavement needs.
The closed groups meet weekly with the same group of participants, where different weekly topics about grief is discussed. These closed groups allow for a deeper exploration of grief and bereavement and supports a compassionate space amongst peers who have had a similar loss. Here you are able to share your own unique grief experience while seeing the universality of grief.

Our bereavement retreats are offered as a one-day event to offer the recently bereaved the opportunity to connect with others who share similar grief experiences, fostering a sense of community and support. These days typically include an informative presentation on grief by one of our counselors and a time of sharing in small groups (4-5 people) facilitated by our bereavement volunteers.
Drop-in groups meet twice a month in a compassionate and open space, offering a chance to connect with others on their grief journey. With no set topic, each session provides a supportive environment for shared experiences and meaningful conversations.
Walking groups meet monthly, providing a supportive space to connect with others who are grieving the recent loss of a loved one to a life-limiting illness.
Available to those whose loved one received services from Hospice Care Ottawa.
