The Hospice Bereavement Program at Sutter Care at Home offers individual and group support to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. All services are offered at no fee. Donations are appreciated.
Individual Grief Counseling
One-on-one counseling sessions are available for hospice family members and members of the community who are grieving the death of a loved one. Bereavement counseling is provided by licensed marriage and family therapists and qualified volunteer interns at our office at Fisherman’s Wharf. Validated parking is available.

How to Support a Loved One Through Grief

This ongoing drop-in support group is for anybody who has lost a loved one and is looking for support and resources to help navigate the complexity of feelings and emotions that coincide with grief.
We meet the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm.

Death Cafe
What is A Death Café?
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
Objective:
Our death café objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
We look forward to meeting you!
We hope you will join us on the following dates for conversation and exploration with others.
