This confidential and inclusive program is designed for up to eight individuals who are experiencing grief resulting from the loss of a beloved friend or family member. Some participants may be grieving a recent loss, while others may find that grief relating to a past death has suddenly been re-ignited by recent events. It provides a connection that transcends differences for those who are in mourning.​

​How the Group Works
This program encourages participation by grieving individuals regardless of where they are in their process. Through the group, people suffering from a loss learn to work through their grief with compassionate understanding and active listening. It is never intrusive. This is NOT a “therapy” group.

Up to eight participants will gather together in a safe and private space using the following guidelines for sharing.

• Respect the confidentiality of what is shared.
• Speak from your heart, not your head, about your
• Listen carefully, deeply and respectfully to what is shared.
• Speak out of the silence and leave a period of silence between speakers.
• Expect to speak only once, and be concise in what you share, until everyone has an opportunity to participate fully.
• Nobody is required to speak; it is fine to pass.
• Cross-talking while someone is sharing is discouraged.

Sometimes participants are asked to speak as they feel led to do so. Other times participants are encouraged to go around in a circle. Nobody is required to speak; it is fine to pass.

Each eight-week session can be repeated as often as participants choose throughout the year. Please call for more information regarding start dates for sessions.

(If you are a survivor of a death by suicide, please contact the Program Coordinator for guidance.)

This support group is co-facilitated by two volunteers who have been trained and serve as a hospice volunteer and an end-of-life doula. They have skill and experience in group facilitation ensuring a safe space for sharing. It is a confidential group of no more than eight participants; it is NOT a substitute for individual therapy.

Everyone is welcome on a first-come first-served basis. Participants are required to complete a PWC Registration Form. If the current program is full there is an opportunity to enroll in an upcoming eight-week program.

Coffee/Tea and goodies are served.

This program is free. A donation to the Peachland Wellness Centre is strongly encouraged.
