Revelstoke Hospice Society’s Vivian Mitchell asked me if I’d be willing to put in a plug for a virtual, online hospice service called MyGrief.ca – for anyone trying to understand and work through their grief.
“It’s a very good individual tool for people grieving a loss… and our Hospice Society wanted to get out the info,” she said.
MyGrief.ca was developed by Canadian Virtual Hospice, in collaboration with national grief experts and families, with funding provided by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
