About Hope Through Healing: Grief Materials for Bereavement Support

Who are we?

2023 Hope Through Healing Publications© has been around for over 20 years. It was created by a woman who was in the healthcare industry herself and saw the need for bereavement mailings or grief mailings. What started off as a grief mailing series for hospices, has grown into so much more. Hope Through Healing© has gained the trust of many organizations including hospices, hospitals, VA clinics, churches, and even veterinary clinics in all 50 states. Some of those include:

“The Hope Through Healing sympathy card and Grief Series that follows gives us the opportunity
to express words from the heart to our bereaved families; that they are unique individual,
and that our care has not ended with the passing of their loved on.“
-St. Luke’s Hospital

What is the Grief Mail Series

The Grief Mail Series is a six-part series of informational grief mailings that provides comfort, peace, and hope during the difficult process of healing.

It is intended to be mailed out over the course of the first year after the death of a loved one. The suggested intervals are 30 days, 3 Months, 6, 9, 11, and 13 Months. These time frames are designed to align with the mourning stage the grieving families find themselves in. Each issue comes in packs of 25, 50, or 100.

“A spouse reached out to me recently saying each issue had just the words of encouragement and help she needed in her grief journey at that time.“
-Pointe Coupee Hospice

“Again and again I hear â€˜that pamphlet arrived just as I was feeling sad or depressed.”
-Michigan Palliative and Hospice Care

Benefits of the Grief Mail Series

Our Grief Mail Series is simple and easy-to-use. It helps standardize bereavement care programs across larger organizations, departments, or multiple branch offices.
Our Grief Mail Series is also available in a bundled format to allow for smaller organizations to be able to provide the bereavement care their families need without the need to purchase 25 of any one issue. Many start-up hospices will start with this bundle and as they grow, they will order larger packs. The Grief Mail Series Bundle includes:

10 pack of the 30-Day Issue
10 pack of the 3 Month Issue
10 pack of the 6 Month Issue
10 pack of the 9 Month Issue
10 pack of the 11 Month Issue
10 pack of the 13 Month Issue
10 pack of the Holiday Issue

The Grief Mail Series Bundle is also available in our Spanish Series for organizations who have Spanish speaking families they serve, but who may not need 25 of any 1 issue. Provide bereavement or grief support to your families in a language they understand, see Products listed below for which languages are available. Would you the Grief Mail Series in a language not provided? Submit a contact request for feedback.

Our Grief Mail Series is a cost-effective way to provide the bereavement care and grief support your families need. We offer bulk rate discounts:

The Grief Mail Series assists and is designed to help meet the bereavement support requirements set by Medicare and Medicaid: The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires hospices to offer bereavement care for a minimum of 13 months following a patient’s death, but many providers extend those services to their entire communities regardless of whether the deceased was a patient.

We can provide a tracking sheet for you to stay on top of your scheduled Grief Mail Series dates and to keep track of everything you have previously mailed for audit purposes. We can email this sheet to you, or you can find it on our website. It is completely complimentary.
Each Grief Mail Series Issue is customizable. We have intentionally left the middle panel blank for you to add your own custom message, logo, and/or contact information. We highly recommend and encourage our customers to include a phone number or email for their families to contact them directly for more support. We can also provide sample messages to inspire your custom message.
- We can imprint your customization for an additional fee, and when you receive your Grief Mail Series it will be ready to be sent to your families.
- We can also provide you with all the tools for you to customize as you go. (Templates, sample messages, and how to instructional video.)
