Success Story: Foundation for Hospice

Losing a family member is one of the hardest things to go through especially if you are doing it alone. Foundation for Hospice understands how to assist with grieving families.

An older man had recently lost his wife and was grief-stricken at the thought of being alone. He attended a group entitled "Sip-N-Share" which is an event that Foundation for Hospice produces. It was in this support group that he found others dealing with the same type of loss. At first he was rather very timid; the idea of talking to strangers about his pain seemed unfathomable.  Their support group helped him learn how to lean on others during this difficult time. The death of a loved one, especially a spouse is never easy, nor can anyone understand until they have been there. This man found comfort in the socializing at the Sip-N-Share meetings that were provided by Foundation for Hospice. It is agencies like the Foundation for Hospice that help make a difficult life experiences more manageable for the people of Onslow County.
