Today, we pause for National Grief Awareness Day. 💔

Grief is a journey we will all walk at some point in our lives. It doesn’t follow a timeline, and it can resurface during any season, in expected and unexpected ways.

This day is a reminder to show compassion—for ourselves and for others—who may be carrying invisible burdens.

At Peace Arch Hospice Society, we’re here to walk beside you every step of the way. Our caring team offers FREE support—from group programs to one-to-one counselling with our Registered Clinical Counsellors. We welcome children, teens, and adults in the South Surrey/White Rock community.

We are here for you. 💙🕊️

PAHS and Peace Arch Hospice Society Thrift Store staff (and a few special family guests) recently gathered for a cheerful afternoon at Crescent Park for our annual Staff Summer Social. 🍉

Beautifully organized by Laura Salimian (Executive & Board Assistant) and Emiko Angus (PAHS Fund Development Officer), this year’s theme was a charming “Tea Party” — complete with delightful treats and fun group and team activities that had us laughing, thinking, and connecting. 🍵 🧁

From trivia and memory challenges to a sugar cube stacking contest, water balloon toss, ladder ball, and a wild goose chase (finding feathers in the forest) there was something for everyone. It was a joy to spend time together outside of our usual roles and get to know each other even better. 🥳

A huge thank you to Laura and Emiko for planning such a thoughtful and fun-filled event — a great time was truly had by all! ✨💙🕊️
