Everyone goes through grief at some point in their life and it is important to get help when you need it. Hospice facilities serve families in more ways than just providing their loved ones with a place to stay during their final days. “It was the smartest thing I ever did,” said Darlene Tolbert, a grief counseling client with Hospice of Randolph. Tolbert came to Hospice of Randolph at the recommendation of a friend after she lost her son to suicide.
