Grief Care

The loss of a loved one – even an expected loss – can be overwhelming. It is important to know that grief is a natural response to the loss of someone dear to us, and all of us will experience it at some time. While there are commonalities in grief, each person copes in their own individual way.


Bluegrass Grief Care is a unique counseling service of Bluegrass Care Navigators. It’s our passion and purpose to support and guide you as you learn to live with loss - emotionally, spiritually and physically.

  • When you’re grieving

    Bluegrass Grief Care staff and volunteers are specially trained to help those dealing with a loss. They offer the following suggestions:

    • Give yourself permission to grieve; don't try to "hurry" grief along.
    • Talk about your loss with family, friends and others you trust.
    • Expect confusion, including a combination of sadness, fear and other shifting emotions.
    • Realize that grief can come in waves and may be triggered by something unexpected – or nothing you can identify as a trigger.
    • Take care of your physical health; focus on exercise, eating healthy foods and sleeping well.
    • Honor the memory of your loved one by planting a tree, giving to charity, volunteering, helping others or enjoying an activity that your loved one enjoyed.
