  • Nelson & District Hospice Society

    Every year, we create a safe space for people who have lost loved ones to share their memories and sadness, tell their stories, and renew their faith in the power of human connection to hold and heal. In this group, it’s ok to not be ok, even at the holidays, … and to share that within this container.

    Please share with anyone you think might benefit from this virtual holiday grief group.
