Hello CarlaVB,
We are sorry to hear about your husband’s recent death from cancer.
The feeling of loss can be such a lonely experience, and your grief counselling in May is likely feeling a long time away.
The Canadian Virtual Hospice has an online resource about grief that you may find helpful during this wait. It is called mygrief.ca (www.mygrief.ca), it’s easy to access online and will hopefully make you feel less alone while adjusting to life and making decisions for the future.
If you are looking for additional support, you may be able to find grief programs or resources in your area. The Canadian Virtual Hospice has a listing of these resources in Canada that can be found here: http://www.virtualhospice.ca/en_US/Main+Site+Navigation/Home/Support/Resources/Programs+and+Services.aspx . Click on your province/territory and then click on “Bereavement Services”. If your husband was cared for by a hospice or palliative care program, they may also have recommendations about local grief resources.
Sincerely,
Simone (CVH Moderator)
