Vaishnavas CARE provides ongoing one-on-one communication via Zoom and emails, with individual and/or family conferences when needed. We offer advice and emotional/spiritual support from our trained and professional Vaishnavas CARE volunteers, including our licensed nurses, physicians, pastors, and grief counselors.

​

Grief Counselling

We have certified Grief Counselors who provide personal and individual care, guidance and support for grieving Vaishnavas. 

Assistance

Local V-Care Teams

Preparing for one’s imminent death is a crucial time for the terminally ill patient. We have local teams around the world where devotee volunteers are trained to provide  a supportive environment for those in need.  Volunteers are taught to address the physical decline of the hospice patient along with the emotional upheaval that may arise from one’s imminent departure.  In addition, volunteers can address any “anticipatory grief” issues of the family members prior to their loved ones death. Our volunteers also offer practical, emotional, spiritual support for those in need. 

​

Grief Support

We have a Grief Support Group on Facebook It is a private, confidential support group designed to help you connect with other worshipers of Lord Krishna from around the world. Members aim to gain strength through both the giving and receiving of care between each other. This group is facilitated by certified grief counselors. There is no need to grieve alone!. We also have a Spanish Facebook Group.
