Some things are simply out of our control. Add a global pandemic to the mix, full of isolation and social distancing, and life has become even more stressful!
We have lost so much: our ability to connect with others, our usual routines, perhaps even our creature comforts like good food and travel. Some losses hit us harder than others, however, like losing someone we love. As a caregiver, you may be dealing with loved one’s sudden death or a more gradual loss bit-by-bit due to memory loss, chronic illness or aging.
In our society, we find it hard to face and honour loss, death, and dying, yet it happens all around us during our lives. Perhaps not having been taught how to grieve properly has led us to avoid it as much as possible. Does everyone start to feel better after a certain time? Does time really heal? What we have come to understand is that each person grieves in unique ways, and that facing the emotions that come with loss can enrich life moving forward.
Discover your inner resources for coping with grief
Grief and loss are powerful emotions. They are a part of caregiving and life that cannot be avoided, even before the pandemic. The Wellness Centre team understands, however, that it’s been especially hard to find healthy closure during these unusual times. WE invite you to join us online for an intimate and caring discussion on the topic of Embracing Grief and Loss with CMA Medeiros, certified Grief Recovery Specialist®. She will help you discover the resources that you already have within you to grieve fully and well.
Join us on a Wednesday evening to explore why it is so important to honour the grieving process and how to find a path to healing within a supportive community.

The community Wellness Centre in conjunction wth The Observatory on Aging & Society (OAS) invites you to participate in a one-hour virtual workshop focused on ageism awareness.
The OAS, a non-profit organization that has been active in Quebec for nearly two decades, has given itself the mission of improving the quality of life of seniors and facing the challenges of ageism as a form of abuse and its consequences within our society. The OAS wishes to change the way we look at aging and seniors. The OAS innovates by using various means to raise awareness among seniors, such as a comic strip it has created entitled: Ageism at a Glance, How Does it Happen?
This tool will be used to demystify ageism, promote care efforts towards seniors and foster healthy intergenerational relationships. The themes illustrated in comic strip fashion have been observed in various areas of our society, such as family, education, work, health, media and politics.
We look forward to an intergenerational conversation and productive discussion as we explore the timely topic of ageism together. To obtain login details for this free event please contact Jan Anderson, Community Organizer with the WE by the April 26 registration deadline.
This session is free of charge as part of a grant from the Québec Ami des Aînés (QADA) program.

Today’s environment is stressful in many different ways. Loneliness, uncertainty, grief, and fear have been part of 
our daily lives since March 2020, particularly for those of us caring for senior loved ones. Experts advise us to practice living mindfully in order to find more serenity and stability in our thoughts, hearts and lives, but is it really possible in the current context? The answer is yes!
Caregivers are invited to join experienced psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in this mindfulness workshop to help understand and put into practice tools for finding more calm and letting go – even in the eye of the storm. “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf” (Jon Kabat-Zinn) Register in advance to obtain the Zoom log-in details.

Note: Naturopathy is not a regulated profession in the province of Quebec (unlike most other provinces). As such, naturopaths are limited in the level of care they can offer the public. Naturopathic plans include lifestyle and supplement suggestions. These are not to be construed as a prescription and are not meant to replace any current or future conventional medical care. Under no circumstances is a naturopath trying to impersonate a medical doctor. Also, the services of naturopaths are not covered by the RAMQ. The RAMQ website says that they may be covered only when provided in a facility (ie. hospital, CLSC, residential and long-term care centre, rehabilitation centre).
May 22nd CANCELLED!
