The holidays can be overwhelming when you are experiencing grief and loss. Giving yourself a “Plan B” can be a calming way to manage holiday plans while grieving.

Whether your back-up plan is to stay home and watch a movie, look through old photo albums, or visit a place that was special to you and the person you are grieving, it’s okay to change your holiday plans to fit your needs.

Our Bereavement team is here for you if you need extra support this holiday season.

⚠️⚠️Flood Warning: Important Notice to Our Community⚠️⚠️

Hospice of the Northwest’s main office in Mount Vernon has been evacuated and will be unavailable to the public today and tomorrow. Calls will still be answered 24/7 at 360-814-5550.

Many of our patients live in areas affected by the flooding. As such, we are temporarily suspending in-person visits in/around the following locations due to safety concerns: Mount Vernon, Burlington, Sedro Woolley, Concrete, Alger, Bow, La Conner, and parts of Arlington.

If you live in one of these areas and have a visit scheduled for today or tomorrow, your care team will contact you to make alternate arrangements.

We are actively monitoring flood levels and will resume in-person visits as soon as it is safe to do so. Updates will be posted to our website here: www.Hospicenw.org/Flood-Warning-Important-Notice-to-our-Community/

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

Grief tends to ebb and flow. During the holidays, it’s normal to experience new, deep, and sometimes complicated emotions.

It’s okay to reconsider what elements of the holidays you enjoy and those you don’t. Let your usual holiday routine act as a framework and do what feels right for you. You can make changes to how you celebrate this time of the year, even if it is different than how you’ve done it in the past.
We want you to know that you’re not alone. If you are struggling with grief and loss this holiday season, we are here to support you.

Call our Bereavement team today at 360-814-5570 or visit our blog for more holiday grief tips: www.HospiceNW.org/Coping-with-Grief-During-the-Holidays.

Spiritual counseling is a central, yet often overlooked, aspect of hospice care. Hospice of the Northwest offers a dedicated spiritual counselor to provide emotional support to patients and their loved ones as they explore some of life’s biggest questions.

By enrolling early, patients and their circles of support have more opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions about their beliefs and values. These conversations help ease stress and anxiety and provide a pathway for finding peace and acceptance.

Choosing hospice early creates space for a more comforting end-of-life experience, offering solace and a renewed sense of hope and healing.

Visit www.HospiceNW.org or call 360-814-5550 for more information about hospice services.
