Bereavement

It is always so incredibly difficult to lose the battle against pediatric cancer and other life-limiting, pediatric illnesses. At Amanda Hope, we support the entire family. For families who must move on without their warrior, we offer brief bereavement counseling and other programming to assist children and adults with the loss of their warrior. We offer a 12-week counseling option to assist families on Worden’s four tasks of mourning that aid in adaptation to life without the warrior.

• Task 1: To accept the reality of the loss. 

• Task 2: To process the pain of grief.

• Task 3: To adjust to a world without the deceased. 

• Task 4: To find an enduring connection with the deceased while embarking on a new life.
