Help within our Community

All are invited to our monthly grief support groups.  We meet in several areas of the Lowcountry, including Charleston, North Charleston, West Ashley, and Mount Pleasant.  Each session is guided by a Board-Certified Grief Counselor. These programs assist individuals who are mourning the loss of a loved one. In each session, we focus on a different aspect of the grieving process, and you will have the opportunity to share and support one another. The program is designed to allow individuals to join the group at any time, and it is open to the community; all are welcome. Please click the link to view all available dates, times, and locations. Events Tab: Please reach out to our Grief Support Coordinator, Linda Altman Hair, with any questions you may have at 843-572-2339 or Linda.Hair@jhenrystuhr.com.

In addition to our Aftercare services, we offer rotating workshops and insight into what to expect following the death of a loved one. Throughout the year, we hold several memorial and remembrance services to honor those who have died, as well as those who have served our country faithfully.

Another unique opportunity we offer is our monthly luncheon at a local restaurant. Members of this small group have looked forward to having lunch together for more than 12 years. This is a time of fellowship and encouragement and we would love to have you our join us at our grief support groups in South Carolina. Please contact Dru Strickland at (843) 881.9293 or email dru.strickland@jhenrystuhr.com for the monthly schedule or check our Events tab.

Resources

  • Hospice of Charleston Bereavement Services Caring for a loved one can be stressful. It can interfere with your work, your personal relationships, and even your ability to care for your loved one. If you are struggling, hospice may be the answer. Hospice can provide comfort to your loved one, skilled care, and nursing visits. It can even help your family with things like supplies, equipment and hospice medications.
  • Help for those facing life-threatening illness – Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
