Grief, caregiving, and death shape our lives and communities in both expected and unexpected ways. Why don’t we talk about it?
Join Hospice Halifax for a free, open, and compassionate panel discussion exploring the many layers of grief and the diverse experiences of end-of-life care.
Guided by perspectives of healthcare, community, and lived experience you can expect:
💬 Honest conversations about what hospice and palliative care looks like
👀 Practical insights for caregivers and people supporting loved ones
💕 Shared stories of resilience, compassion, and community care
🎤 A welcoming, grief-friendly space to share and ask questions
Together, we’ll reflect on how community support can help ease difficult journeys, and how each of us can contribute to a culture where grief and death are acknowledged, and met with compassion rather than stigma.
➡️ Meet the Panelists:
Joycelyn Hamilton, Executive Director, Hospice Halifax
Claire Prashad, Nurse Manager, Hospice Halifax
Dr. Brenna vanTol, Medical Director, Hospice Halifax
This panel is proudly a part of the 2025 Grief Gatherings Festival, organized by Grief Matters. We encourage you to visit their website and page for the full festival schedule!
