The Nancy L. Philippart and Thomas F. McGrail Family Fund in memory of Cheryl A. McWilliams ensures that anyone coping with the loss of a loved one has access to the bereavement support they need to help them manage the complexities of their grief – both during the hospice experience and following the death of a loved one.

 

This fund provides critical financial support that allows Arbor Hospice’s Grief Journey Program to offer extensive bereavement services and programming across Michigan, all delivered by Masters-prepared clinicians who are specially trained to work with grief-related issues.

 

From one-on-one counseling to loss-specific groups, seminars and workshops, Arbor Hospice’s Grief Journey program provides unparalleled support and resources to help families through the grief process.

 

In addition, this fund supports Camp Good Grief, a program designed for children ages 8-17 who have experienced the death of a loved one. Each of the three, day-long Camp Good Grief experiences offered annually across the state combine art, music and conversation with grief education and emotional support.
