“…Although past studies have shown that hospices offer a myriad of bereavement services (Barry et al., 2012; Demmer, 2003; Foliart et al., 2001), there does not appear to be a clear indication of the full range of these services (Ghesquiere, 2018). To our knowledge, only two prior studies have considered general hospice bereavement services on a national scale in the U.S. (Barry et al., 2012; Demmer, 2003).…”

“…Hospice supports approximately 1.5 million individuals who are terminally ill and their families annually by providing comprehensive medical treatment geared to enhance comfort (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization [NHPCO], 2020). Although bereavement services constitute one primary mechanism of support that hospice provides for family members, there is a lack of current information about what types of hospice bereavement services are delivered across the U.S. (Ghesquiere, 2018). The current study aimed to fill this gap in the literature.…”

Although the Medicare Hospice Benefit mandates that hospices offer bereavement support services to families for at least 1 year following the death of a patient, it does not stipulate which services they should offer. As a result, little is known about what bereavement support services hospices provide, especially on a national scale. The current study recruited a national sample of hospice representatives who responded to an open-ended question that asked, “What types of bereavement support services does your hospice provide to families?” Seventy-six viable responses were recorded and content analyzed. Four overarching domains emerged: (a) timing of support, (b) providers of support, (c) targets of support, and (d) formats of support. Other notable findings included the underutilization of bereavement support services and the utility of informal support formats. These findings present implications for future study regarding which specific aspects of hospice bereavement support services are most beneficial to bereaved families.

“…Although it is not always a service that is provided to the aging population, hospice care is another niche in which clinical mental health counselors are being employed. Hospice provides medical care, emotional support, and pain management to those with terminal illnesses (Ghesquiere, 2018). They also provide bereavement services to family members and loved ones after the death of the patient.…”
