Carpenter Hospice has helped me through the toughest of times after losing my father. The care and compassion they all provided was incredible and I will never forget it.

Program Participant

Grief is a complex emotion.

There is no right or way to grieve. Our Bereavement Program offers compassionate, non-judgmental support to those experiencing loss.

Your grief is as unique as your fingerprint and as unique to the relationship you had with the person who has died.

Your expression of grief is essential because it allows you to understand and honour your relationship and what life means going forward without the physical presence of the person who has died in your life.

There is no timeline for grief.

Grief is neither linear nor follows a consecutive list to check off or stages to complete. Grief is an unravelling of various emotions. A common misconception is that grief is resolved within one year.

The first year of grief can be challenging, as it brings on those firsts and milestones, such as birthdays, holidays, and other significant days. After the first year, the loss stays with you in some way forever, but you begin to adjust and explore your life without your loved one.

You move forward but carry them with you, honouring the relationship you shared.
