Yesterday, two of our team members went live on CBC Radio to discuss navigating death and grief. Shanna, Director of The Children’s Grief Centre (left), and Jaclynn, Program Manager of the Living with Advanced Illness Centre, spoke with Kathleen Petty on Alberta at Noon. Together, they answered calls and shared insights with listeners about their experiences with loss and grief. It was an incredibly meaningful and important conversation.

Derrick is a thoughtful nine year old and former client. He started coming to The Children's Grief Centre with his sister for support after their mom died.
After an event hosted by our Children’s Grief Centre, Derrick told his counsellor:
“It was nice to not be the only kid in a big group missing someone important in their family. All of the other kids have the same thing. But my favourite part of the night was standing outside by the big fire, drinking four cups of the best hot chocolate. I felt peaceful standing there, and I felt that kids like me are not alone and that people are helping us.”
This is the power of your support.
A warm drink, a safe space, a moment of connection - these seemingly small things are life changing to the families who walk through our doors every day.
Give today and give the gift of connection:

We’re so grateful to be among the charities chosen to receive stuffed animals for the children and teens we support! When a new client visits our Children’s Grief Centre or Living with Advanced Illness Centre for the first time, they get to choose a special stuffed animal to keep - a comforting companion as they begin their journey with us.
Thank you Official Calgary Hitmen Hockey Club, ENMAX Energy, and Calgarians who attended and donated stuffed animals!
