No matter what our medical model or general culture believes, grief is healthy.

-- Franz Schubert --

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow --

The work of the artist is to express what is repressed or even to speak the unspoken grief of society.

-- Franz Schubert --

You didn't need to learn something that only disaster could teach.

-- Megan Devine --

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.

-- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross --

Encouragement to look towards the future only ignores the pain you are in right now.

-- Megan Devine--

Grief is not an obstacle. Never let anyone convince you there's something wrong with your grief.

-- Tim Lawrence --

Grief is a sane response to the physical loss of someone, or something you love.

-- Megan Devine --

Perhaps one day we'll be more shocked when a heartbroken soul isn't expressing their grief than when they are.

-- Tim Lawrence --

“Grieving people want and need to be heard, not fixed”

-- Grief Recovery Method --

“When people say that time heals all wounds, they forget that all wounds are meant to be healed. Some wounds are merely held, caressed, acknowledged and wept for. There is nothing wrong with this”

-- Tim Lawrence--

“You want me to get over my loss? Actually it would make more sense for you to get over your need for me to get over my loss”

-- Tim Lawrence --

“We must grieve our unmet hopes, dreams and expectations"

-- Grief Recovery Method --

“We want them to stand beside us, not trying to fix what cannot be fixed, not trying to rush us out of our grief. We want them to stand there, without flinching, and acknowledge what is true: this hurts. This hurts. I’m here”

-- Megan Devine --

“Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time”

Ryszard Palczynska -- Ryszard is my dad who passed away on April 1, 2020. He really loved travelling, learning, walking, biking, mushroom picking, cooking, and living in the moment. It was because of my dad that we ended up living in Nova Scotia, coming from Poland when I was 10. I miss him every day and his terrible dad jokes.

Healing The Loss

Mike Crosby-- Mike was a larger than life character who loved his family, cooking, and fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon. (He was one of the best in the world!)



He was a great Papa to our precious Addy & Finn, a wonderful father to Heather & Mark, a supportive and call-on-me-for-anything type of friend to his huge circle, and a loving and amazing husband to me.


Mike lived large and left a huge void when he passed away unexpectedly on Oct 12,2021 after our Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Miss you, Hon!

Healing The Loss


Bernard Joseph Mulhern -- Intelligence, kindness and humility are the attributes I  admire most in Bernie. He believed strongly that all people are equal and through journalism and education, he was able to speak for those who couldn’t be heard and were often unseen. He made an incredible difference in a lot of lives. The world lost someone so very special on March 28, 2023, and I lost my foundation.




Healing The Loss

Bob MacDougall -- To honour a man who felt his life was more than he could have imagined. Bob did life his way, loved his family fiercely, he was a man of great faith and believed until the end he was moving on to something incredible. We miss him so much, I will carry him in my heart and mind for the rest of my life until we meet again. He was also so sure we would, I believe we will mingle together in the spiritual world with all people we loved. Thank you for the support you have provided to me Hilary and for all you do for others.
