Our Mission: Through our presence, advocacy, education, and leadership we offer compassionate and practical support during life-limiting illness, end of life care, and grieving.

GRIEF IS REAL. GRIEF IS A NORMAL RESPONSE TO LOSS. The COVID-19 Pandemic has intensified the normal losses of life. Throughout life we can all expect to lose loved ones due to death and we mourn those losses. However, we currently can’t share our sorrow by attending funeral or memorial services, or by hugging others who are hurting. Some people may also be struggling with loss of a job or business, loss of a feeling of security, loss of connections with friends and family, loss of your own health. A loss is a loss, regardless of what has caused it. The Greater Trail Hospice Society can support you as you grieve what you have lost. We have trained volunteers to listen to your story, help you understand what symptoms are normal during grief, and provide support so you can sift through your memories and pain, and move forward in life. Call 250-231-7344 to arrange an appointment.
