Our professional bereavement care is free of charge and available to all. We have grief counselors who specialize in child and teen grief. Our staff also includes volunteers trained in leading bereavement support groups. A Spanish-language interpreter is available by request. Group counseling is available to organizations for a fee. Donations are always welcome for our grief services, which help us support the community.

Bereavement Care
We offer a wide range of services for adults: short-term individual grief counseling, support groups, and grief workshops. Seasonal remembrance events are held in the summer and winter, and dates of service are updated regularly.

We provide crisis intervention services to organizations when sudden or traumatic death occurs.

Counseling and Support Groups

Individual Counseling

We’re here to support you as you learn to live without your loved one. This counseling provides you with a safe environment to share your experience of loss with a trained bereavement counselor. Grief counseling is available by phone call or video visit. For more information about talking to a counselor or to schedule an appointment, call 919-644-6869. A referral by a parent or guardian is required for anyone under 18 years old.

Grief Support Groups

Groups provide an opportunity to remember and honor a loved one in the company of others. You will learn about grief and hear how others are effectively coping with loss. It’s a place where you can share your story and listen, knowing you are not alone in a difficult time.

Camp ReLEAF

Camp ReLEAF is a grief camp for children in kindergarten through eighth grade who have experienced a loss. The camp provides a safe place for children to learn about grief and share their stories of loss with children their age. The camp is staffed by trained volunteers and Duke Hospice Bereavement staff members.

Bereavement Counseling Referrals

Referrals must be requested by an adult patient who wants to receive counseling or the guardian of someone under 18 years old.

Referrals are taken 24 hours a day by calling 919-620-3853 or 1-800-599-9339.
