Saint Barnabas Hospice Offers “Drop In” Bereavement Services

West Orange, NJ -- “Grieving is a process that has no time table,” says Judith Zucker, LCSW, Bereavement Coordinator for the Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center in West Orange, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System.  “Each of us mourns differently and at different rates.  It is important to be aware of how grieving is impacting your daily life.  At some point it may be helpful to seek bereavement counseling for assistance.”

As part of its commitment to provide exceptional health care services to the community, the Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center offers a “Drop In” bereavement group on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.  The program is offered at the Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center located at 95 Old Short Hills Road in West Orange.  For more information, please contact Judith Zucker at 973-322-4817 or via
e-mail at jzucker@barnabashealth.org.
