Music-Thanatology is a palliative care service offered to bring physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort to patients and their families during a time of serious illness or at the end of life. Trained clinicians respond to a patient’s changing condition with a unique prescriptive delivery of music using harp and voice. Because the music is individualized, it often brings reduction of pain, reduced anxiety, respiratory relief, and deep relaxation.

• Anytime during treatment of a terminal diagnosis
• During the removal of life support
• While a person is on comfort care
• During periods of anxiety, intense pain, or sleeplessness
• When a person is having difficulty breathing

Music-Thanatology services can be requested by a patient, a family member, or any health care team member. There is no fee for this service.

For more information on this service, please contact the Music-Thanatology Office in the Providence Center for Faith and Healing, at 509-474-5122.

Grief is as unique as there are variations in people and their relationships.

We want to ensure your journey through grief is accompanied by support and someone to talk with who can empathize with your experience. Providence Sacred Heart is currently offering a unique program of grief support with a trained Chaplain through the Center of Loss & Life Transition founded by Dr. Alan Wolfelt. In our program, we focus on two of the most effective ways to assist grieving people: education about grief, and support.

Participants will have the opportunity to join a 10-week Grief Support Group offered once a year for 5 weeks in Fall, October 18-November 15^th and after Holiday break, January 10^th-February 7^th. that helps process “The Ten Touchstones” of grief in the context of a supportive small group. This group will be experienced in a combined in-person and ZOOM setting.

Enroll in the Grief Support Group.

For the newly bereaved, we offer the following video presentation by Dr. Alan Wolfelt: Helping Yourself Heal When Someone Dies - Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt.

David Kessler presents on needs for Caregivers: Self Care Video for Professionals in Healing (davidkesslertraining.com).

We are working to develop a network of other grief support group programs in our larger community and are glad to offer information and referral as they are available.
