SUMMARY:Living with Grief: Adjusting to Life After Loss (in person)
DESCRIPTION:A one-time workshop covering the basics of grief and mourning\, and ways to cope for those who are bereaved following the death of a loved one (this is the same content used in previous offerings of this workshop). This is an education-focussed but interactive workshop that encourages sharing from participants while learning about different ideas around grief and mourning. Although we will not be screening participants\, we recommend that you give yourself at least one month after your loss before attending this workshop due to the potentially overwhelming nature of grief. \nAre you grieving the death of someone important to you? Are you surprised by your grief and wondering what is normal and how best to cope? This workshop\, developed by the grief counsellors at Victoria Hospice\, will help you to deepen your understanding of your grief\, as well as offering a chance to connect with other grievers in our community. Join us as we: \n\nShare and support one another in your grieving experiences\nBetter understand grieving and mourning\nExplore the many ways that grief can impact our lives\nExplain how grieving naturally works to help us live with our losses\nIdentify ways to support healthy adjustment to loss\nExplore your continued connection to the person who has died\nHave opportunities for you to reflect and share on the material\nAnswer your questions\n\nTo register\, please complete the Eventbrite link \nThe workshop is free of charge. Please only register if you feel will be able to attend the workshop. As there are a limited number of spaces available\, confirming a ticket means you are claiming one of these spaces. If you have to cancel your registration\, please contact us at the information below. \nThis workshop will take place at our Community Support Centre at 102-4450 Chatterton Way.

SUMMARY:Mountain Golf Tournament
DESCRIPTION:A close-knit group of family and friends will hit the links again this year July 11-13 to celebrate the 32nd annual Mountain Golf Tournament. The tour has grown from twelve to 70 participants and now takes place on the Olympic View\, Cordova Bay and Bear Mountain courses. \nPaul Sekhon was a founding member\, beloved family member and friend who died in 2011. The care Paul received on the Inpatient Unit and at home with support from the Palliative Response Team served as inspiration to Paul’s friends and family to do what they could to ensure that compassionate care is available to others. \n“In the final weeks of Dad’s life\, using the hospice services at home – what an opportunity that was to have four weeks in our home having everyone come in and visit – many people don’t get to have that\,” says Paul’s son\, Javas. “That month was really special\, and that was something hospice was able to help provide.” \nThe tournament also honours the memory of Raman Jhuti\, a Mountain Golf Tournament team member and cherished friend\, who died in 2020. \nThe friends of Paul and Raman aim to raise $25\,000 this year. To date their efforts have resulted in over $200\,000 being raised for Hospice. \nYou can support their fundraising goal by donating here
