Do you think you would know your loved ones wishes if they were unable to speak for themselves? Most people think they do. This video sheds some light on the truth of the matter.
Salmo and District Hospice is hosting a fun, interactive morning playing a game that helps get the conversation started around advance care planning. Join us on November 29 at 10:30 at the library to learn, chat, and maybe start planning.

How well do you know your partner? We put couples to the test. You know their favourite food. You’re pretty sure about their bucket list holiday destination....

Beautiful sentiments.

Carrying Our Loved Ones Within

We carry our loved ones
in the quiet corners of our days,
in the echo of a laugh,
the warmth of a touch,
the gentle guidance they once offered.

We honor them in the life we live,
in acts of kindness,
in passions pursued,
in values held close.

Grief and love intertwine,
and in that weaving,
their spirit becomes part of us,
a steady light,
a quiet, steadfast strength.

Even in our choices,
their wisdom guides us,
a subtle compass pointing the way.

To carry our loved ones within is to honor them,
to let their essence move through us,
shaping the rhythm of our days,
reminding us that love endures,
even beyond presence.

Some useful ideas as children and staff return to school.

The beginning of the school year is upon us. Times of transition can be hard for everyone, but they can be especially difficult for children and young people who are grieving. Here is a resource from the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG) to help with the coming days. For the full resource page, visit childrengrieve.org.

Please remember that The Center is also here to help. For support, call (207) 775-5216.
