In times like these, the precautions that keep us safe can also cut off the connections that give our lives meaning—including saying goodbye to our loved ones.

You can help combat the loneliness and isolation of grief.

You can help someone like Julia.

Julia was so relieved to find a place for her mom in a care home.

But her relief was replaced by fear and sadness when the home was locked down during the pandemic. She was unable to be by her mother’s side during her final weeks.

When her mother died, alone, Julie was left overwhelmed with painful emotions.

Then there could be no gathering of family and friends, no celebration of life to honour her mother. Julia was devastated.

Those who have lost a loved one during this pandemic have likely suffered deeper and more complicated grief after a death in unimaginable circumstances. I want you to know that you can help combat the loneliness and isolation that Julia experienced.

For many who are grieving in the midst of the pandemic, speaking with a hospice volunteer is their only connection in this time of isolation. With your help, people like Julia won’t have to grieve alone:

• Your one-time gift of $200 will provide a grieving daughter with three months of weekly phone support sessions
• Your monthly gift of $25 will connect a grieving father who has lost a child to other grieving parents, in an online or socially distanced bi-weekly bereavement group
• Your one-time gift of $100 will provide play therapy for a child at Cowichan Hospice House while his mother is cared for, through her final weeks.

Thank you for making compassionate care available in Cowichan.

Your gifts heal.
