Walking a Gentle Path of Grief: A Bereavement Walking Group for Parents, Carers, and Grandparents

You don’t have to walk alone. Join with other Canuck Place bereaved parents, carers, or grandparents walking at a relaxed pace with the facilitation of a Canuck Place Bereavement Volunteer. Participants may explore their grief through the movement of walking, being outdoors in nature and with other grievers in this supported group experience. Whether you feel like talking or simply walking in silence, you are welcome here.

Each session will open and close with participants gathering in a circle. In between, participants will head out on an approximately hour-long walk. Everyone is welcome to join us for coffee, tea and snacks afterwards.

When: Monthly Thursday mornings – check back for dates and times

Who: Parents, caregivers, and grandparents

Where: Walks will begin and end at our Hospice in Abbotsford (Dave Lede House) and continue around Mill Lake Park.

Child minding with a volunteer at the hospice may be available if you let us know when you register. Feel free to bring littles in strollers or in a pack.
