St Albert Bereavement FellowshipRegistered

Provides 24/7 phone support as well as monthly meetings to support persons who are dealing with loss and grief. One meeting offers speakers who cover various topics related to major life changes coping on your own aspects of grief loss and other related topics. The second monthly meeting is moderated by a certified grief counsellor and promotes sharing by attendees. Both meetings are open to the public. Volunteers organize 2 or more informal social outings per month where grieving persons can feel comfortable joining others who understand and identify with their grief journey. Co-sponsor a monthly grief walk for the community and surrounding area. Incorporates nature walks in the spring summer and fall and uses an indoor facility for the winter months. This is another opportunity for grievers to socialize in a group who are compassionate and who can identify with each other. As this is open to the entire community we ofter have new attendees at our regular meetings as a result of attending these walks.
