Grief is Mental Health

Grief is not separate from mental health.
It is mental health.

When we lose someone, or walk alongside serious illness, the emotional impact can be overwhelming and long-lasting. There is nothing “wrong” with struggling through that.

This Mental Health Month, we honour grief as a natural response to love and loss… and a reminder that support matters.

At NNPCN, we provide free palliative support, hospice care, in-home visiting, friendly visits, and grief and bereavement services.

 You don’t have to carry it alone.

*****************************************************
Le deuil n’est pas séparé de la santé mentale.
Il fait partie de la santé mentale.

Lorsqu’on perd quelqu’un ou qu’on accompagne une personne gravement malade, l’impact émotionnel peut être profond et durable. Il est normal de trouver cela difficile.

En ce Mois de la santé mentale, nous reconnaissons le deuil comme une réponse naturelle à l’amour et à la perte… et un rappel que le soutien est essentiel.

À NNPCN, nous offrons gratuitement des services de soins palliatifs, de soins hospice, de visites à domicile, de visites amicales et de soutien en deuil.

 Vous n’avez pas à traverser cela seul.

Too many people in Canada still face barriers to accessing palliative care, whether due to where they live, their diagnosis, or other life circumstances. Often, support comes too late to fully benefit those who need it most.

Palliative care is about more than end-of-life… it’s about living well. It provides comfort, dignity, and holistic support for the mind, body, and spirit, while also caring for families and caregivers. It can happen anywhere: at home, in hospice, in hospital, or in long-term care.

Everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality care… wherever they are.

Key priorities:

• Raising awareness and understanding

• Supporting and training caregivers and providers

• Strengthening knowledge and data

• Ensuring equitable access for all

Together, we can make palliative care available everywhere… for everyone.

Contact us for safe, confidential support. You don’t have to walk this path alone. #GriefSupport #palliativecare #nnpcn

****************************

Trop de personnes au Canada font encore face à des obstacles pour accéder aux soins palliatifs , que ce soit en raison de leur lieu de résidence, de leur diagnostic ou d’autres circonstances de vie. Trop souvent, le soutien arrive trop tard pour en tirer tous les bénéfices.

Les soins palliatifs ne concernent pas seulement la fin de vie, ils visent à mieux vivre. Ils offrent confort, dignité et un soutien global pour l’esprit, le corps et l’âme, tout en accompagnant les familles et les proches aidants. Ils peuvent être offerts partout : à domicile, en hospice, à l’hôpital ou en établissement de soins de longue durée.

Chaque personne mérite d’avoir accès à des soins empreints de compassion et de qualité, peu importe où elle se trouve.

Priorités clés pour l’avenir :

• Sensibiliser et informer le public

• Soutenir et former les proches aidants et les intervenants

• Renforcer les connaissances et les données

• Assurer un accès équitable pour tous

Ensemble, rendons les soins palliatifs accessibles partout, pour tous.
