A teal-toned graphic featuring a silver menorah with nine candles centred on a tabletop. Overlaid text reads “Chilliwack Hospice Society – Centre for Grief Support” and “Remembering Hanukkah,” with Hebrew text beneath and the subheading “Honouring grief, memories, and light throughout the season.” The overall design is calm and reflective.
For those observing #Hanukkah while grieving, this season may feel especially tender. In times when antisemitism and violence add weight, the light of the menorah can offer comfort, strength, and a reminder that care and remembrance endure. 🩵 @chilliwackhospice.bsky.social

Grief is to feel, not fix. It isn’t a problem to solve. It’s an experience to honour. Sharing this powerful TEDx talk from The Dougy Center Executive Director, Brennan Wood. Link: youtu.be/ZN4zP5baJrg?...
A smartphone screen showing a mock Spotify playlist titled “In Grief Together — Connect with Teens” by Chilliwack Hospice Society. The playlist includes fictional song titles like “Crying at the Grocery Store Again” and “It Hurts to Say Your Name.” At the top, a message from Kaylee (Youth Program Manager) invites teens to text or DM with questions. In the centre is a square graphic that says: “IN GRIEF TOGETHER — Teen Drop-In Support Group — Tuesdays at 3PM.” A banner at the bottom promotes the free teen drop-in grief support group for ages 14–18, happening the first Tuesday of each month. The background is a bright orange.
Grief sucks — but you don’t have to go through it alone. 🩵
Join other teens (14–18) who get it on the first Tuesday of every month, starting August 5. No pressure, no sign-up — just a chill space to talk, listen, or just be.
Got questions about the group? DM us — we're here for you.
