💚 Kindness is at the heart of community.

On this World Kindness Day, we’re reminded how simple gestures — a kind word, a helping hand, or a thoughtful message — can bring comfort and connection.

Let’s continue to lift one another up, especially in moments when it’s needed most. 🌻

Stage theories make loss sound controllable — but it rarely is. While Kübler-Ross helped us understand the range of emotions mourners feel, modern research shows that grief doesn’t follow a checklist.

Even Dr. Kübler-Ross herself later clarified: the stages were “never meant to help tuck messy emotions into neat packages.” Grief defies structure because love itself is unstructured.

Reflection:
Grief doesn’t happen in order. It happens in moments.

Today, we pause together as a community to remember the courage and sacrifice of those who served our country.

Their legacy of bravery and love for Canada lives on in our hearts and in the freedoms we share today.

As we reflect, may we honour them not only in remembrance, but in how we live each day — with gratitude, kindness, and peace.

Lest we forget. 🌺

November 8 is Aboriginal Veterans Day, a time to recognize the thousands of Indigenous men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces — many from communities right here in northern Alberta.

Today, we honour their bravery and the families who supported them.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to remember their service and the legacy they leave behind.

How are we to understand bereavement?

Over the years, many have tried to explain it. Perhaps the most well-known is Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This model quickly became a cultural standard for how we think people should grieve.

But real grief isn’t always so orderly or predictable. The truth is, loss can’t be tucked neatly into stages or timelines. Grief is messy, complicated, and deeply personal — and that’s okay.

Reflection:
Every person’s experience of grief is as unique as their love for the one they lost. 🌺
