Hello and Happy Tuesday!
I am currently expanding our resource section for children and families. I am curious to know what fellow hospices are offering to hospice families and/or community members in need additional guidance in supporting children before and after their loved one passes.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
