One of the things we hear from our clients experiencing grief, is how lonely grief is. They report that people get uncomfortable and gradually stop coming around. Their grief gets masked with “I’m ok” in order to make others comfortable when inside they are crying.

Being there, holding space for them to talk about their lost loved one, say their loved one’s name, and hold the memories close is the best way to show up for your grieving friend and/ or family.

The following is a good list of ideas when you’re not sure what to say or how to be.

If you’re grieving and want support, reach out.
If you or someone you love has received a life limiting diagnosis, reach out.

We invite you to stop by our booth tomorrow at the Salmo Christmas market (10-3 at SVYCC). We will have a wind phone booth on site so you can “connect” to your loved one and talk. We have Christmas decorations you can decorate in memory of a lost loved one and hang on our memorial Christmas tree. We will have a chair to pull up for a chat. Whether this is your first Christmas or your 20th after loss, we invite you to stop by.

A lovely way to honour our departed and mind the earth

Do you think you would know your loved ones wishes if they were unable to speak for themselves? Most people think they do. This video sheds some light on the truth of the matter.
Salmo and District Hospice is hosting a fun, interactive morning playing a game that helps get the conversation started around advance care planning. Join us on November 29 at 10:30 at the library to learn, chat, and maybe start planning.

How well do you know your partner? We put couples to the test. You know their favourite food. You’re pretty sure about their bucket list holiday destination....

We hope you’ll join us for this fun, informative, unique game. It is a great way to get talking about difficult topics.
