Grief Counseling and Support in Washington, DC

How Does Grief Counseling Work?

For those who have never had grief support, the idea of it might seem a little confusing. It’s common for many people who lose a loved one to go through this on their own or with people they’re close with. Inviting people into your life at this difficult moment might make some people wary of seeking support. For our grief support services, some people may have had a loved one who received hospice care from Capital Caring, but we also help those who are unfamiliar with our organization. 

At Capital Caring Health, our grief services include the following:

• Telephone support or ZOOM video calls
• Short-term individual or family grief counseling
• Resources for families with children, as well as support groups and workshops
• Referrals to long-term counseling when needed

We know that everyone grieves in different ways and requires different types of support to help them through this. Our grief counseling services come in different forms to help provide the type of support you’re looking for. For some, this might involve family grief counseling that can be done as a group so you can go through this process with loved ones. However, we understand that many people may feel uncomfortable discussing their feelings or being vulnerable with family members, so we also offer support to individuals. Children also experience grief after losing a loved one, and we offer grief counseling meant specifically to help children understand what’s happening. We also offer community-based support groups and workshops.

Working through your grief doesn’t mean forgetting about the person who passed. Through our services, you can learn to adjust to life without this person while still remembering the memories you have of them. Dealing with everything you’re feeling while you’re grieving can be extremely complicated and you aren’t expected to learn how to navigate your emotions on your own. Our services are for short-term counseling and how often a person requires our services may vary. During your counseling, you might find that you need services other than what we can provide, in which case we can make a referral.
