Why Choose Adena?

We listen. We care. We help.

Adena Health's comprehensive grief and bereavement services promote healing and renewed hope for those who have lost a loved one.

Our Commitment

When someone you love dies, feelings of hurt, loneliness and sadness are normal. They are part of the grief process. 

At Adena Health, our focus is on you and anyone who has experienced losing a loved one.

Recovering from grief is never easy. Whether you were in a caregiving role that lasted for months or years, or the death was unexpected. Your grief is real. And it's perfectly normal to need and seek out help on how to cope with big empty spaces in your heart and life.

This is where we can help.

How?

  • Listening. By being present to another person’s pain without trying to take it away, while serving as a sympathetic ear.
  • Individualized care and support. There's no one right way to grieve or cope with the loss of a loved one. We are all different.We offer a variety of support mechanisms including check ins, customized grief counseling sessions, group support, and/or assistance for your entire family.
  • Education and knowledge. The Adena Health professionals can provide a variety of resources and education to help you navigate and overcome your grief.

Sometimes sadness becomes depression. If so, you may need professional help in order to heal. If symptoms of depression seem severe or continue longer than normal, call us.
