Whether someone is 8 or 98, whether their grief is new or has been with them for years, Empath Grief Care meets them right where they are.
You may have read about Ava, a teenager who found healing through Camp Blue Butterfly after her mom died. Her story is powerful.
_____

Every day, our counselors walk alongside people of all ages across our community, helping them heal on their own timeline.
Diane’s journey back
to herself.
_____
Diane’s father died in hospice care and through Empath Grief Care, she was matched with Cassandra, a licensed counselor who met her right where she was.
She soon realized that years of caring for others had caused her to forget how to care for herself.
Today, she smiles again.
“I came in one way (broken/distraught/
scared/overwhelmed) and completed grief counseling with peace, better understanding of the grief process and with tools
for the future.”
Your gift to the Suncoast Hospice Foundation makes Empath Grief Care possible for people like Ava, families like Diane’s, and so many others.
This spring, will you help someone begin their healing journey?
