GRIEF AND
BEREAVEMENT
SUPPORT

“No one ever
told me that grief
felt so like fear.”

– C.S Lewis

The unavoidable reality of caring for someone who has faced a terminal diagnosis is that you will eventually have to find a way to move through life without your loved one. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, and for some the grieving may even start while your loved one is still with you. We offer support, advocacy and companionship. As with all our services, we do our best to listen well and help you find the best way forward for you. For some, this may be a grief group; for others a referral to a one-on-one counsellor.

We are committed to walking with you on this journey.

Holidays and special occasions can be a tough time for those who are grieving. Here are links to some good information that we hope can help.
