Chilliwack Hospice Society
We are privileged to live and work on the Stó:lō unceded traditional territory of the Pilalt and Ts’elxwéyeqw tribes.
Chilliwack Hospice Society is a community-based organization that helps individuals and families dealing with dying and death through support, education, and programs that promote wellness and healthy grieving.
Chilliwack Hospice Society is offering a drop-in Traumatic Loss Grief Support Group on the first Thursday of each month. The group is for individuals who have accessed our services and would like to stay connected; people who are interested in joining a trauma group or meeting with a counselor one-on-one; and those who have experienced a traumatic loss and prefer the flexibility of a monthly drop-in.
For more information, please get in touch with Lucy Fraser, MSW, Director of Programs, by contacting (604) 795-4660 or email at [email protected]

The death of a pet can provoke immense feelings of loss and grief. Many pet owners grieve quietly and alone, without the support of friends, family and community. For some grieving a pet often doesn’t quantify as a substantial loss, and those grieving are left to feel that their loss is insignificant compared to other deaths. Giving those who are grieving the death of a pet a therapeutic group setting allows for a safe, non-judgmental space to mourn this meaningful death with others who are also suffering.
The group will meet once weekly for four consecutive weeks, starting September 11, 2024.
Pre-registration is required. For more information or to join our pet loss grief support group, please contact Jennifer Dacre, BA, BA-CYC, Bereavement Services Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email [email protected]
