Hope and Healing Through Connection
DHH is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life through the provision of non-medical support for those affected by or caring for an individual with a life-threatening illness, as well as bereavement support.
Bereavement Program
This program provides individual and group support in a safe and nurturing environment for family members or friends who are trying to cope with the illness or loss of a loved one.
The staff and trained volunteers in the Bereavement Program help individuals deal with grief that often manifests itself as sadness, guilt, frustration and anger. Whether individuals work alone or in a group, clients can share feelings of loss, or share the understanding, communication and healing process with family members.
