When you are grieving, every part you of you is affected. So you will need to adjust your expectations: you can only do, what you can do and that’s okay. You are in the season of grief. Yes, your energy and mind will improve. Just as when sick or recovering from a hospital stay, it is best to be patient and positive. Don’t push or guilt yourself because you will only feel worse. Name this season for what it is and accept the best thing to do is take a few items off your daily to do list. But first, wake up and smell the coffee. Walk through the day slowly and with compassion. That will soften your heart and grow your capacity to carry this grief forward.

One of the most often comments to someone is " Just call when you need something". What are the chances this will happen? Often the person does not know what they need at the beginning. Unless you know grief yourself, it may feel uncomfortable to know what to do and say around someone you would like to support. Here are some ways that are helpful to bereaved.

When someone we care about is grieving, it can leave us feeling helpless. We want to fix it, make it better, take away their pain—but grief isn’t something that can be fixed. It’s something that must be lived through, in all its painful complexity. And if you’re reading this, you’re probab...

Grief is one of those experiences that changes you forever. It reshapes the way you see the world, your relationships, and even yourself. But unless someone has gone through it, it can feel like they just don’t understand what you’re experiencing. That’s one of the reasons grief groups can be ...

Grief is intense especially at the beginning. And as special days or holidays approach, this intensity can return.

Health support.

NEW EPISODE 🎙️ | Why Mental Health Conversations Matter More Than Ever in Agriculture

Mental health in agriculture isn’t just a conversation—it’s one we need to keep having. And having honestly.

In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, TracyMBrunet sits down with Merle Massie, Executive Director of The Do More Agriculture Foundation for a real, open, and at times deeply personal conversation about what’s really going on beneath the surface in farming today.

Together, they explore:
• How farmers are really doing right now
• The pressures that go far beyond weather and markets
• The truth about mental health in agriculture when you go a layer deeper
• Merle’s personal family story with mental health and su***de
• A candid discussion on risk factors, hindsight, and breaking the silence
• The ongoing challenges around stigma, awareness, and access to support
• The work Do More Ag is doing to support farmers across Canada

This episode is powerful, important, and one that reminds us: no one should have to carry this alone.
