Social Media can play an important part in the healing process in many individuals who are dealing with grief; especially during the pandemic. Annie Horton has created emerging.grief, an Instagram account aimed at providing bereavement support in an online community setting. She's shared her own stories of loss, including the death of her brother-in-law Nick Cordero. http://ow.ly/zCXJ50Cbwrq

Publishing an online obituary allows a family more opportunities to share about their loved one. Photos, special moments and a life story can all be centralized in the guestbook, as well as allowing for digital condolences. It can also act as a permanent memorial that the family can revisit on occasion to re-read some of the messages left by other family members and friends. Many online guestbooks also offer the opportunity for guests to share a photo along with the condolence. Below are some tips to help you craft your message of sympathy and support.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians remember.
