GRIEF RESOURCES
Your Journey to Healing:
Resources to Support You
Grief is a road we all must travel at some point. We at Pierson's Funeral Service LTD
are committed to providing resources that guide you toward healing and recovery. Don't hesitate to contact us for additional resources and personalized solutions tailored to your specific needs. You may also contact the links on their own website.
Alberta Health Services
The Grief Support Program offers individual, family and group services – all under the umbrella of Alberta Health Services.
All new clients attend an appointment with a counsellor to determine which counselling services would be most helpful. Daytimes and limited evening appointments are available.
Hospice Calgary
The name Hospice Calgary may be somewhat misleading. Although Hospice is an important element of their services, Hospice Calgary offers the most extensive programs for individuals needing counselling, group programs and other support while facing advanced illness or loss of any kind.
Their Promise: “Wherever you access our services, we promise to journey with you, through end-of-life and grief, for as long as you need us. We promise to have the difficult conversations about death, dying and grief, hearing your unique story and responding with compassion.”
