Support Groups & Wellness Programs

Currently offered in-person and online at no cost, our support groups aim to offer solace and comfort for individuals grieving a death, and for those caring for someone with a palliative illness. See each listing below for more information.

Grieving a Loss

Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.

– C.S. Lewis

The death of a person can be a traumatic and emotionally overwhelming experience. At St. Joseph’s Hospice, we understand that grief is a natural and necessary accompaniment of loss and we offer a variety of supportive care programs and services that help individuals adjust to the loss(es) associated with death. St. Joseph’s Hospice compassionately supports the emotional, spiritual and social well-being of individuals and the bereaved along their palliative care journey.

Our intention is to connect, educate and support our clients by:

  • Giving responsive care to each person as they move through their unique journey

  • Providing an atmosphere of respect for each person as they address their life meaning and purpose

  • Encouraging healing and growth through participation in quality services

  • Offering a place of solace where hope can be restored under the guidance of trained and empathetic staff and volunteers

If you have experienced a loss due to illness within two years, and are a resident of London, eighteen years and older you are welcome to reach out to our Community & Supportive Care team for more information.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and community partners, all programs and services are offered at no charge for residents of London, Ontario. If you or a loved one is living with a terminal illness, or have had a loss due to illness in the past two years, we are here for you.
