What we’re reading… How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis 🤍

A gentle, compassionate guide for anyone feeling overwhelmed. The focus is on “good enough,” not perfection, and on making your space work for you while treating yourself with kindness.

An easy, reassuring read, it’s available through Auckland Libraries in print and audiobook.

Grief is something nearly all of us will experience, yet it’s often very difficult to talk about.
It’s also deeply personal. Everyone experiences grief differently, which is why it’s not something you have to “get over”.
From February, we will be offering a Living with Bereavement Group at Dove House for people grieving the death of a loved one due to an incurable disease.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch with our Reception team at Dove House. We’re here to help.

This year marked the debut of our new Volunteer of the Year Award, proudly named in honour of our Patron, Isabella Tedcastle. The 2025 award was presented to our fabulous Remuera volunteer Christina Pusztay, recognising her outstanding contribution to Dove Hospice over her 13 years of dedicated volunteering.

We also acknowledged three exceptional volunteers who have consistently gone above and beyond in their service to Dove: Phil Selwyn, Melissa Hunt, and Miti Toomata.

Our warmest congratulations to all our award recipients and heartfelt thanks for your continued dedication, generosity, and support throughout the year.
