This Week's Resilience Tip: Add some positive quotes to your fridge, your mirror, or on your phone. Read them often, and let the words you choose remind you that each day has the opportunity to bring new discoveries, healing and wonder. #griefjourney #resiliience #grief

Many of us associate hospice palliative care with seniors and adults, but children with life-threatening illnesses need that comfort as well. Today is National Hospice Palliative Care Day for Children. #hpcforchildren https://www.chpca.ca/HPCforChildren

This Week's Resilience Tip: Ask for help when you need it. Make a list of people you can call when you need help, and note what kind of help you'd feel comfortable receiving from them. Maybe it's someone to talk to when you're feeling lonely, someone who would share a meal time with you, or help you navigate through new responsibilities. #griefjourney #resilience #griefsupport

This Week's Resilience Tip: Keep setting new goals for yourself. Maybe you want to read a particular book, to eat healthier meals, or keep in touch with friends. If you find a particular situation challenging, there may be a way to reach the goal by taking smaller steps in that direction. #Resilience #griefjourney #griefsupport

This Week's Resilience Tip: Take time to notice the steps you've already taken and things you've learned on your journey. Some find that keeping a journal provides an opportunity to look back at challenges, and to recognize healing and growth. #Resilience #griefjourney #griefsupport
