SCHC Bereavement Care |
When someone important to you has died,
|
After meeting with a staff member, you will be offered a range of opportunities to access our services:
What is Grief?
We believe that everyone carries the capacity within her/himself to integrate their loss experiences and learn to live with grief if given safe and supportive places to explore and experience grief in whatever way makes sense to them.
It is Never too Soon to Connect…
We believe and honour that you are in the ‘driver’s seat’ and direct your care needs. Although you may decide to wait to access support, you may wish to register with Hospice Bereavement Care Services and then simply call us when your needs change. Self and community referrals accepted. All referrals will be assessed for eligibility and linked to appropriate services.
- You can meet individually with a rigorously screened and professionally trained volunteer for peer support. Our volunteers are not professionally trained counselors or therapists, but are people like you who have experienced a death in their family and are on a similar journey of learning to live with their grief.
- You may also consider joining one of our peer-facilitated, mutual support bereavement groups. We offer a range of mutual support bereavement groups around specific loss experiences, educational groups as well as Therapeutic Art, Walking and Meditation groups for people who are grieving.
What is Grief?
- A natural response to loss.
- A unique experience for every person.
- Not a problem to be fixed.
- An experience we all share as a result of being human.
- Something that can be experienced because of both death and non-death related losses.
We believe that everyone carries the capacity within her/himself to integrate their loss experiences and learn to live with grief if given safe and supportive places to explore and experience grief in whatever way makes sense to them.
