Letting go of items doesn’t mean letting go of memories.

It’s normal to feel some guilt when sorting through a loved one's belongings, but know that releasing certain items does not weaken the bond you shared.

Take your time, honour your feelings, and allow yourself the space you need to make the right decisions.

Le mois de mars est consacré à la célébration de la langue française et de la richesse des cultures francophones à travers le monde. Le Mois de la Francophonie met en avant le dynamisme, le patrimoine et l’identité commune que véhicule la langue française.

Cette année, le thème « Active ta francophonie » invite la communauté francophone à s’impliquer dans sa culture et y tisser des liens. C’est une belle occasion d’apprécier, d’apprendre et de célébrer une langue qui rassemble les francophones et francophiles, en particulier ici au Canada.
