Grief walks: Spring and fall. Grief walks are an eight-week series of gentle walks that brings together people moving through the shared experience of loss with the intent that they will find support from each other, their community and their time in nature. All walks are between 1.5 to 2km round trip on relatively flat, pathways in and around the Olds/Didsbury area.
“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose,…All that we love becomes a part of us.” Helen Keller
Grief is a process, it is a journey…not something to get over but something to work through.
Grief is the internal response to any loss. It affects us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
“Grieving is a wilderness experience. It looks and feels like chaos”
