Grief Support
Service of Remembrance & Death Cafes
The Palliative Care Society, in collaboration with the Chapel of Memories and Victim Services, hosts a memorial Service of Remembrance during the first week of December each year.
This is an all-inclusive, non-denominational service, welcoming all community members.
Guest speakers share their journey and experiences in grief and loss and help to bring healing to know that you are not alone.
Additionally, we facilitate an annual Death Cafe - a group-directed discussion about death and dying in a relaxed, comfortable setting, like a coffee shop, featuring refreshments like cake and tea, with the goal to "increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives". It's a safe space for open, confidential, and respectful conversations on all aspects of mortality, from personal fears to end-of-life planning, helping to destigmatize the topic.
