Tucson Grief Support Groups

After the death of a loved one, we experience grief in our own unique way. Casa de la Luz Hospice is here to support you in your grief journey. Our bereavement team can provide you with support and connect you to local community resources. We offer a selection of support groups where you can find comfort and guidance with others.

We at Casa know that there are some universal grief responses, and we encourage you to honor your feelings. There is no set time frame for grieving, so allow yourself time to heal.

Listed below are our grief support group options. To learn more about our grief support groups, contact our office at 520-544-9890 or e-mail us at info@casahospice.com. All groups are open to the public, and free of charge, however, donations to the Casa de la Luz Foundation are gratefully accepted.

Casa de la Luz Hospice also offers a Celebration of Life Memorial Service twice a year to remember the lives of those who have died on our service. This is a powerful opportunity to honor the memory of your loved one. The Celebration of Life service is hosted in the fall and in the spring at St. Philips in the Hills Episcopal Church. The bereavement department mails an invitation to the family members for the relevant service. You can contact our office for dates and times.
