Helping those in grief can be complex. If you’ve sat with someone in pain and longed to be more helpful, you are not alone.

Join David Kessler for a free one-hour online session during which you will learn the six core needs of the grieving, a framework that can help you meet people where they are, without fixing, rushing, or bypassing their pain. You’ll get tools to help others move from isolation to connection.

Canadian Virtual Hospice is pleased to announce the launch of Indigenous Voices: Supporting Healthy Ways of Living Through Grief and Loss. This is a new collection of Indigenous-led grief resources, developed through a partnership between Canadian Virtual Hospice and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples from across Canada, with funding from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.

The project is led by Dr. Holly Prince, and a national Elders and Knowledge Carriers Circle representing First Nations, Inuit, and Métis perspectives. The project brought together Indigenous scholars, educators, students, writers, artists, and Knowledge Carriers from across Canada.

Indigenous leadership and collaboration are embedded throughout every phase of the initiative, from identifying grief as a priority need, to reviewing evidence, shaping resource content, sharing teachings and stories, developing distinctions-based guides, and creating culturally-grounded visual designs.

Through videos, stories, teachings, and practical resources, the collection shares the distinct wisdom, languages, and lived experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples while supporting healing, connection, cultural reclamation, and culturally safe-r care.

A fourth grade teacher (.brazil_28) explained what grief is, to her fourth grade students, using a vase.

'I told them the vase represented my brain and heart. I normally have more space for patience, focus, and calm. I showed them how little things that happen during the day like noise, questions, mistakes are like colorful pom poms filling up the vase. Normally, there’s plenty of space to handle those things.

But when someone is grieving, part of that vase is already full. Grief takes up space, not just in your heart, but in your brain. It can make you more tired, less patient, and quicker to feel overwhelmed. I wanted my students to understand that if I seemed off lately, it wasn’t about them. It’s just my brain and heart are doing a lot of extra work right now.

It turned into one of the most healing moments I’ve ever had in my classroom.'
