wow. Hospice offers free grief groups or counseling [View all]

I just went to a senior fair to find resources for my Mom. My 84 year old Dad died unexpectedly 3 months ago. I was doing fine but just became debilitated with grief this last week. A friend suggested hospice but my Dad died in the hospital, not with hospice. Still, I found today that I can attend with no cost to me. (I guess it's paid by medicare?) My local hospice offers groups, one on one counseling and short term groups to help with facing holidays.

I thought others may want to take advantage of this service, also. I live in California so I don't know if this is just our state or if it's nationwide.
