Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the Supporting Ourselves and Others Through Grief workshop.

Grief touches each of us differently, and we are grateful to everyone who came together to learn, share, and reflect in such a thoughtful and compassionate space. Whether you attended to support your own grief journey or to better support someone in your care, your presence helped create a meaningful and supportive conversation.

We hope you left with practical tools, greater understanding, and a reminder that grief is not something we have to navigate alone. Caring for ourselves and showing up for others can make a real difference.

Please keep an eye on your email — a follow-up message will be sent soon with the resources discussed during the workshop, so you can revisit the information and continue exploring the supports available to you.

Thank you again for spending the day with us and for helping build a community where grief can be acknowledged, supported, and met with compassion.

✨ Myth vs. Fact Friday ✨

Myth: “Hospice requires a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order.”

Fact: While many people who enrol in hospice programs have a DNR, clients are not required to have one.

Hospice supports are centred on comfort, dignity, and honouring each person’s unique wishes. Advance care planning—including resuscitation preferences—is always guided by you, your loved ones, and your care team.

Every journey is different, and hospice organizations are available to support yours with compassion and respect. đź’ś
