Mission Statement
Providing practical, emotional and spiritual support to individuals and their loved ones through the stages of dying, death and bereavement.
Hospice palliative care aims to make the last months of life comfortable, peaceful and dignified for patients and their caregivers by providing care, support, respite and advocacy. Our trained Hospice volunteers work as part of a caregiving team that could include community home nursing, doctors, hospital and facility staff, social workers and spiritual leaders.

Thanks to our wonderful grief group facilitator Morag Reid for this gem about what grief does to our bodies and what we can do to help heal.
Wow ... a wonderful compilation of articles about how dying can help us to live fully. A great weekend read ...
