Chilliwack Hospice Society’s Pre-teen Grief Support Group offers a safe and supportive space for pre-teens ages 8 to 14 to learn about grief and loss, express their emotions, and share their stories with others who get it.

This weekly group gives pre-teens an opportunity to:
- Connect with other pre-teens in our community who are grieving,
- Take part in meaningful activities, crafts and conversations,
- Share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and
- Create space for memories, connection and support.

The Pre-teen Grief Support Group meets once weekly on Thursdays from August 13 to September 3, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., at Chilliwack Hospice Society, located at 7112 Vedder Road.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. For more information or to register for the Pre-teen Grief Support Group, please contact Karlee Gross, BA (Hons.), Child & Youth Program Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email [email protected].

Second Step Grief Peer Support Group offers ongoing, peer-led support for people who are grieving the death of a loved one, whether the death was recent or many years ago. Led by trained Chilliwack Hospice Society volunteers Lee White and Mary Petrescu, the group provides a welcoming space for participants to share experiences, listen and contribute to facilitated discussions, and walk alongside others on their grief journey.

Second Step is grounded in connection, understanding, and mutual support. The group meets twice a month: on the first Thursday from 1:00–3:00 p.m. at Chilliwack Hospice Society for a regular group meeting, and on the third Thursday at 12:00 p.m. for lunch at a local restaurant chosen by the group. The meal is at the participants’ own cost. Participants do not need to have attended another Hospice Society group before joining; for some, Second Step may be the right pace and atmosphere for support.

For more information, or to join Second Step Grief Peer Support Group, please contact Deanna Fedorkew, Community Education Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email [email protected].
