Grief and Bereavement Services

Help for your healing journey

Community Health Network offers a continuum of grief and loss support services. While we believe that all people experience a personalized response when grieving the death of a loved one, it often helps to be connected with others who have experienced a similar loss.

InTouch Bereavement offers free support to adults grieving the death of a loved one, through individual counseling, support groups, specialty events, memorial services and more. Our grief experts are available to support you in your grief journey however fits you best.

For more information or bereavement support, call 317-621-4646 or e-mail us at InTouch@eCommunity.com.

New! Stronger Together

A virtual support group for caring hearts. At every stage, we're here with you.

*This group is for caregivers before death/loss, rather than after a loss.

Supporting a loved one through their end of life journey can bring up a lot of emotions. Please know you are not alone. We were not created to make this journey alone. We invite you to join us for a time to connect with others who “get you”, receive support from hospice professionals, and discuss coping tools you can use to support your own well-being.

  • Second and fourth Friday of the month, 2 to 3:30 p.m. (late arrivals are ok)
    • Second Friday - JOIN
    • Fourth Friday - JOIN

Support Groups for Loss

Facilitated grief support groups provide a safe space to share common experiences and feelings with others in the grieving process. Our team provides opportunities for a variety of loss situations to support you on your journey, including in-person and virtual support options. Explore groups below.

“We are not made to make this journey alone; we need each other. Connecting with others who ‘get you’ can serve as an anchor during this time.”
—Julie Leet, LCSW, CT, grief counselor
