Bereavement Day
As of March 23, 2011, the Order in Council of the Province of British Columbia has proclaimed May 15, 2011 as Bereavement Day in BC.
If you or someone you know is grieving the loss of a loved one, we invite you to join us for a Service of Remembrance and Dove Release.
The BC Bereavement Helpline is committed to ensuring in future years that
the 3rd Sunday of every May will be proclaimed “Bereavement Day” in BC. We
acknowledge and support those in grief and recognize that with public
awareness, compassion and education, a person’s ability to adjust to their
loss is improved. We hope to one day ensure that “Bereavement Support is an
Essential Service.”
We invite you to join us in commemorating this day for yourself or someone
you know who is grieving.
Bereavement Day 2012 – May 20, 2012
To take time for ourselves and to remember our loved ones,
the BC Bereavement Helpline offers a
