Today is Children's Grief Awareness Day. In just one year, over 203,000 of Canada's 7.5 million children under 18, will experience the death of someone in their extended family.

We believe that grief-informed communities are better equipped to support and care for people who are grieving. The Children's Grief Centre provides counselling, education, and group support for children, teens, and families to gain the tools they need to face grief.

Compassionate support can make all the difference in the life of a grieving child.

At Rosedale Hospice, we do our best to say YES as much as we can! You know that hospice care is never one-size-fits-all. You know that it’s never just about managing symptoms. It’s about dignity, honoring people as their full selves, and saying yes to what matters most to you and your loved ones.

Your gift to Rosedale this winter will help us keep saying yes to patients at Rosedale all year long.

Give the gift of yes today! https://ow.ly/BcXo50XtHff

Hannah was 14 when she accessed grief counselling through The Children's Grief Centre.

"When I came here, it felt safe and welcoming, and I found it was unlike other counselling. My counsellor knew how to ask me the right questions about my grief so that I could begin to heal and move forward with my life."

On Oct 30th, we had an incredibly meaningful night celebrating Halloween with our Children's Grief Centre clients. Holidays are an especially hard time for our families. Many share that Halloween is a tough one given it is a very family-centered night in their neighbourhood and community.

One of the parents attending said; "My partner was always the one who organized our family carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. To have this night and have it feel special instead of lonely is something I can’t thank you enough for."

Because of our community, volunteers, and donors, we have the privilege of hosting events like this one - thank you!

Our Companion Program is a family-centered and community-based approach to improving the quality of life for those impacted by any advanced illness.

We are looking for volunteer companions! These volunteers will be carefully matched with clients to provide regular support, including respite, companionship, resource sharing, and other practical support.

The program aims to help reduce stress and feelings of isolation in patients, caregivers, and their families and promote an active role in living life to the fullest during illness.

To learn more, contact our Manager of Volunteer Services: leeanne.alexander@hospicecalgary.ca

November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month, and you can help us light the path for kids with grief.

In honour of Children’s Grief Awareness Day, the Children’s Grief Centre will host its annual Light the Path evening for our clients. This is where current client families gather to connect and make lanterns in memory of their person and light a path.

You can show all kids who are grieving that they are not alone by helping to Light the Path this November. For every $25 you give, we will light an additional community lantern at our annual event (that means, $125 donated = 5 additional lanterns). The deadline to donate to light a community lantern is November 14th.

Your lantern will help other families find their path through grief.

Give today and double your impact: thanks to generous support from the LaRose family, the first $2,500 raised will be matched 100% for grieving families
