At the Centre for Grief and Healing, we know that living with grief can be incredibly difficult. But we also believe that amidst the pain and challenges, there can be moments of hope, resilience, and even joy. That's why we're always on the lookout for good news stories and testimonials from people who have found ways to cope with their grief and find meaning in their lives again.
By sharing stories of hope, resilience, and healing, we hope to create a sense of community and connection for those who are going through similar experiences.

Maybe you've found solace in a particular hobby or activity, connected with others who share your experiences, or discovered a new sense of purpose in helping others. Whatever it is, we want to celebrate your resilience and share your story with others who may be going through similar experiences.
Sharing your story can not only inspire others, but it can also be a powerful way to honor your loved one and the impact they had on your life. We're committed to creating a brave, supportive space for you to share your experiences, and we're here to listen and learn from you.
