A grief cafe is a social gathering of people experiencing bereavement who wish to talk about their own experience and listen to the experiences of others.

When you arrive at the Victoria Hospice Community Support Centre, you will be greeted by one of the volunteer facilitators. You’ll be invited to choose a drink or a snack and find a seat at one of the tables. The volunteers will introduce the format of the session and provide some short prompts to help guide conversation at the tables. You’ll have an opportunity to share your own story, if you wish, and to listen to the experience of others.

Please be aware that these sessions are social in nature and not a substitute for medical care or counselling.

There is no charge to attend, however seats are limited and sessions fill up quickly, so please do not request a ticket unless you plan to attend. If you have a ticket but can’t attend, please call and let us know (250-519-3040) so that we can offer your seat to someone else.

Also, this is not a drop-in event so, please arrive prior to the start so that you have time to settle in.

Seats may be reserved through the EventBrite link below.
