Sunshine Coast Hospice

We support people with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. We’re also working with VCH to open the Coast’s first dedicated hospice in 2027.

Through trained volunteers, we offer free grief, bereavement and advance care planning services. Coast Hospice has been providing compassionate care since 1987. Our volunteers offer companionship and bereavement support at home, in hospital and in comfortable private hospice rooms here on the Sunshine Coast. Hospice provides extensive volunteer training and support in bereavement and vigil care to allow us to continue to provide the best services possible. Together we make a difference; together we create a compassionate community.

✨ Healing Arts—Light & Lanterns

The series uses art-making to gently encourage expression, insight, and growth in a caring environment where participants can share stories, express emotions without words and feel connected while creatively exploring their grief and honouring their loved ones.

In this particular series, participants created personal memory lanterns from willow and paper; the stunning work that emerged was truly remarkable. If you would like to learn more about our healing arts series, please contact our Client Services Coordinator via email at programs@coasthospice.com.

🙏 We are grateful to the Marin Foundation and the SCRD Grant-in-Aid for their funding support of our Healing Arts series at the program centre.

✨ On this day, and every day, you are not alone! ✨

Recognizing that Valentine's Day could be challenging for those experiencing grief, we compiled five of our favourite ways to honour and celebrate our loved ones. Feel free to include one or all of them in your day or use them as inspiration to create your own tradition. 💐

1: Write your loved one a letter
2: Enjoy their favourite trail
3: Enjoy your loved one's favourite meal
4: Enjoy their favourite book or author
5: Light a candle in reflection of their love

💙 Remember that grief and love are naturally linked and can be described as two sides of the same coin. You are never alone in your grief; we are here for you. 💛
