☁️ A Heartfelt Thank You to the Family of Sandra and Carman Carr, Our Day of Care Sponsor ☁️

This is a special day, as it marks Sandra Carrs birthday. A meaningful way to honour her life and legacy by giving back to others in need of comfort and care.

Sponsoring a Day of Care is more than just a donation, it’s a profound gift that ensures we can continue offering the very best care, comfort, and peace to those who need it most. This sponsorship directly supports the well-being of our residents and their families, allowing them to focus on what truly matters.

Sandra and Carman Carr’s family are helping us provide:
🍽️ Nourishing meals, prepared with love by our dedicated food coordinator and volunteers, ensuring every resident feels cared for and valued.
💛 Emotional support from our compassionate team, offering a listening ear and a comforting presence when it’s needed most.
🩺 24/7 clinical care from our skilled team, providing unwavering comfort and dignity at all hours.
🛌 Essential medical supplies, maintaining a peaceful, safe environment for our residents as they receive the care they deserve.
🙏 Pain and symptom management, along with spiritual care, ensuring peace and solace for those on their final journey.
💡 Essential utilities that make our hospice a warm, welcoming place for our residents and their families to feel at home.

The cost to provide this extraordinary level of care is approximately $1,500 per day, and thanks to the Family of Sandra and Carman Carr, we are able to continue supporting our community with the highest standard of care.

🖊️ Finding Comfort Through Journaling

When grief feels overwhelming, journaling allows us to gently process emotions and create room for hope and healing. It’s a personal sanctuary where you can honestly explore your feelings, express your thoughts freely, and begin to untangle the heaviness inside. Each entry becomes a step toward acceptance, resilience, and finding light even in difficult times.

We invite you to join our monthly Bullet Journaling Group, a gentle and supportive environment where we’ll come together to:

✨ Explore meaningful journaling prompts
✨ Create space to share and connect
✨ Learn simple strategies to cope with grief

No writing experience is needed—just bring your heart, an open mind, and a gentle willingness to explore. Whether this is your first time journaling or you’re seeking a caring community to share your journey, you’re warmly welcome here.

📅 Second Tuesday of every month
🕙 10:00–11:30 a.m.
📍 Stan Klemencic Care Centre, 1244 Old Highway #2, Belleville

A Gentle Space for young Hearts to Heal 🧡

Losing someone important is difficult at any age. Hospice Quinte’s Youth Grief Support Group offers a safe, caring, and age-appropriate space for youth ages 11–15 who have experienced the expected death of someone close to them.

Throughout the program, youth will explore their emotions in a safe and supportive way, learn gentle coping tools to help navigate difficult moments, and connect with peers who truly understand what they’re going through. They’ll gain confidence, feel less alone, and learn how to express their grief in ways that feel comfortable and natural for them.

Guided by trained facilitators, each session offers a thoughtful blend of learning, reflection, and connection.

📅 Begins Wednesday, February 4th (runs weekly for six weeks)
4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Stan Klemencic Care Centre | 1244 Old Hwy 2
A 45-minute dinner is provided at the start of each session

✨ Pre-registration is required.
To register or for more information, please contact Shelley Haggarty at
📧 shelleyh@hospicequinte.ca
📞 613-966-6610 ext. 224

If you know a youth who may benefit from this support, please reach out or share this message. Together, we can help them carry their memories forward with strength and peace.

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Alva Foundation, which helps make this program possible.

💙 New Episode: Changing Lives

This week on Changing Lives, we’re reflecting on how creativity can become a source of comfort, meaning, and expression at the end of life.

Many artists turn to their craft during their final days- using music, painting, or performance to express emotions, find solace, and leave something meaningful behind. In this episode, we gently explore a few examples of creators, such as David Bowie, whose final works reflected what they were navigating. We also talk about how creating art can help people process difficult feelings, regain a sense of control, and shape a legacy that continues to speak for them.

Join us as we look at how art can bring clarity, comfort, and connection during life’s most tender moments.

December 5th felt extra magical ✨

As another year came and went, one thing remained the same- the loving generosity of Brighton Clothing and Treasures .

This year, they raised even more for local charities across the community- from food banks and schools to programs supporting children and pets. Their commitment shows the true heart of this remarkable organization.

Their generosity made a real difference with a $10,000 donation to Hospice Quinte, helping us provide comfort and care to those who need it most.

Pictured above is one of their amazing volunteers, Donna Breznik, who, along with a team of more than 50 dedicated volunteers, helps make this work possible. 🙌

💖 Thank you, Brighton Clothing and Treasures, for returning this year and for your unwavering support- together, you are helping us bring hope, comfort, and care to those who need it most!

If you’re inspired by this generosity and would like to support Hospice Quinte with a third party event of your own, visit https://hospicequinte.ca/third-party-fundraising/ to learn more or contact Sherwin Sam at Sherwins@hospicequinte.ca
