Grief Street

”It gave us a place to heal our hearts.”

Like Main Street, Broadway, or First Avenue, Grief Street is found in any town, city, or village. When death finds its way to our door, it can leave us feeling stranded and in need of directions and support. Grief Street: A Family Bereavement Program was especially designed by The Center for Grief Care and Education to assist families along this road. We understand that the grief journey can be difficult and like any new place you visit, you may need some help navigating and finding your way. We are here to help.

Grief Street: A Family Bereavement Program assists families by supporting both the family unit and each age group. Parents and guardians can reflect on their own grief process and get assistance in helping their children grieve. Everyone learns that they are not alone in their grief process. There is someone to accompany them on Grief Street. As one parent said, “It gave us a place to heal our hearts.”

This free service is held Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm in the Hillcrest area. Families with children ages 3 through 18 are encouraged to attend. For more information and to schedule a required meeting with one of our counselors, please call 619-278-6480 or send us an email to griefinfo@sdhospice.org.
