Sorrow is a universal human experience, one that arises from a vast array of losses.
Sometimes the symptoms of our grief are overwhelming, washing over us in waves of emotion. Making sense of our loss in a way that is transformative is at the heart of our sorrowing journey.
During this two-hour session, you will learn the difference between grief and mourning. It will include, but not be limited to, various grieving styles along with numerous grief responses.
As of June 2024, this session is a requirement for all clients who want to use our services. Sessions are capped at four participants.
After attending Introduction to Grief, our certified counsellor will contact you to discuss options for possible supports for your grieving process. If you would benefit from one-on-one counselling sessions, you may book at that time.
Assessment and referral are provided as desired.
Four visits with our certified counsellor are free.
Grief companions are HSCD-trained volunteers offering one-on-one grief support. Based on Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s model of companioning the bereaved, companions are a compassionate, listening presence when you need a safe place to tell the story of your loss and share tears... or laughter. Meeting in your home, or out for coffee, companions fill spaces created by the loneliness of bereavement.
