Grief is any reaction to loss -
whether actual, perceived or expected
Grief can occur on multiple levels: emotional, physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and spiritual. When a person experiences a major loss, it has a ripple effect on their life – affecting work, plans and relationships
Although grief is a normal, natural and necessary process, it can feel like a roller coaster with unpredictable ups and downs, twists and turns
Grief Support Group
Our support groups invite attendees to discover healing and hope by expressing their feelings in a safe and welcoming environment with others who are also experiencing loss. Support groups are held several times a year.
For information regarding the next six sessions (90 minutes each) please contact bereavement@carepartnersor.org or 503-648-9565.
Registration is required to attend, but all community members are welcome – not only those with family members on our service.
After our patients pass away, we have our own memorial service every other week, where staff share what touched them most about each patient and send good wishes to their family and friends..
Additional Community Grief Resources
If our scheduled groups are not at a convenient location or dates for you, most hospices offer grief support groups that are open to the public.
Specialized Support for Children, Teens and Young Adults
For a younger person, the first experience of death can be very difficult, and they may express grief differently from the adults around them. We refer interested families to the Dougy Center, a globally-recognized grief support organization for young people headquartered in Portland. They also offer groups in Spanish.
