Yearly milestones can cause old memories of those we’ve lost to resurface, and with these memories often comes a renewed sense of grief and sorrow. And that’s okay.

Grief is a non-linear process that we spend our lives navigating. Within this, there are often “good” days - where we’re able to effectively manage our grief - and “bad” days - where our grief feels insurmountable.

When we’re intimately reminded of our departed loved ones, its not uncommon to have a “bad” day. This doesn’t mean that you’re broken or failing to heal, but rather that you’re experiencing a perfectly normal stage in your healing process.

If you ever need help navigating the grief brought about by yearly milestones, then we’re here for you. Call us at 780-288-8011 or visit healmyheart.ca to receive the gentle and compassionate support you need.

Today is world humanitarian day.

Humanitarian aid workers are some of the most important and selfless people in our communities. However, that doesn’t mean that being a humanitarian worker is easy. The intense emotional weight of humanitarian roles - especially crisis response roles - can contribute to the development of a number of mental health struggles.

So, today we recognize the struggles of humanitarian aid workers. If you’re a humanitarian worker grappling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other form of mental health struggle, then know that your feelings are entirely valid.

If you’re a humanitarian aid worker struggling with trauma or your mental health, then we’re here to help you navigate through your pain. Take the first step towards healing today by calling 780-288-8011 or visiting healmyheart.ca.

Certain emotionally significant dates - such as anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations, and events - can bring about a wave of memories. In many cases, these memories can cause our hearts to flood with grief as they remind us of those we’ve lost.

Seasonal grief is normal, and it doesn’t mean that you’re “broken” or “wrong”. It’s a reflection of how healing is a dynamic and life-long journey with no clear end point. Some days will remind us of those we’ve lost. And that’s okay. ❤️

If you ever need support during an emotionally difficult time, then we’re here to help you. To meet with our compassionate grief specialists, call us at 780-288-8011 or visit healmyheart.ca.

Healing can feel long, isolating, and overwhelming. As you navigate through your healing journey, you may find yourself troubled with questions like “am I doing this right?”, or “is this normal?”.

While it’s normal to feel this way, the healing process is in actuality highly individualized and unique from person to person. So no matter how you heal or what healing looks like to you, know that you’re strong. You’re courageous. You’re doing excellent. You can do this. ❤️

If you need help navigating and understanding your healing process, then call us at 780-288-8011 or visit healmyheart.ca.

Like adults, children can feel crushed and helpless under the weight of grief and trauma. Unlike adults however, children typically don’t have the emotional awareness needed to properly express and cope with these emotions.

Children who are grieving or experiencing trauma can feel an intense, complex mixture of sorrow, anger, confusion, anxiety, and more. Without learning how to manage or react to the intensity of these emotions, children can develop issues with their self esteem, social development, and emotional development. As a child’s caretaker, it’s crucial that you seek emotional support and guidance for them in these cases.

At the Grief and Trauma Healing Centre, many members of our team specialize in providing grief and trauma therapy to young children and teens. To get the support your child needs, call 780-288-8011 or visit healmyheart.ca.

Grief can feel like an isolating, directionless maze. However, navigating grief doesn’t have to feel this way. Through using the grief recovery method, our therapists walk you through a highly-refined, evidence based process to arrive at healing ❤️.

The grief recovery method involves two processes: discovery and recovery. Across both these processes, people receive emotional support and assignments from a therapist specifically trained in the grief recovery process. Through this, the grief recovery method ultimately helps people to feel supported, overcome negative patterns, and heal from their loss.

Regardless of who you are or what your grief entails, our team of therapists trained in the grief recovery method are here to help you. To book an appointment today, call 780-288-8011 or visit our website at healmyheart.ca.

Trauma can be a fact of life. There is no consistent or uniform shape of trauma - it comes in many different forms, affecting many different people in many different ways. The only thing consistent across all forms of trauma is the potential for healing ❤️.
