Introduction to Grief

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 strongly recommended for all clients who want to use our counselling service. Sessions are capped at five participants.

To sign-up, contact us by phone, 780.608.0636 or send us an email, admin@camrosehospice.com

Grief Companioning Support

People 2562352 128020171129 20550 120ddqp
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.

Palliative Care Support During a Life-Limiting Illness

Hospice g80983ce4b 1920
This program brings together trained  HSCD volunteers with individuals who have received a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness. Quality of life is key to our service, and Hospice volunteers provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support to both clients and their families. We acknowledge that these relationships benefit and enrich both the volunteer and those facing a life-limiting illness.

Care Volunteers may help with daily tasks, listen to life stories, or simply sit in quiet companionship. Family and other supports may be present, or they can take time to step away for rest or other responsibilities.

All Hospice volunteers receive thorough training, as well as on-going support, so that they may provide a high level of excellence in service to the community.

To receive palliative care/end-of-life Hospice support contact the hospice office by calling 780.608.0636 or send us an email, admin@camrosehospice.com
