MyGrief.ca

Canadian Virtual Hospice has developed one of the most comprehensive grief-support ecosystems available in Canada, offering three interconnected platforms tailored to the specific needs of adults, children, teens, caregivers, and educators. MyGrief.ca, KidsGrief.ca, and YouthGrief.ca were created by national teams of grief specialists, healthcare professionals, researchers, and people with lived experience of loss. Each platform blends credible guidance with accessible language, real stories, and video-based learning, making these resources useful for both personal support and ministry settings.

KidsGrief.ca provides clear, age-appropriate help for understanding how children ages 0–18 experience grief. It equips parents, guardians, ministry staff, and educators to support children before a loss, during illness, and after a death. Separate modules offer tailored guidance for home and school contexts, helping adults prepare for difficult conversations, recognize developmental differences in grief, and create supportive environments when a child is grieving.

YouthGrief.ca was developed by grieving youth, for grieving youth. Through videos, art, and honest reflections, young people share what helped them, what didn’t, and what they wish others understood. It offers a rare peer-voiced space that acknowledges the complexity of grief in adolescence and young adulthood. Youth, friends, ministry leaders, and caring adults can all benefit from the insight offered here.

Alongside these, MyGrief.ca offers an extensive library of modules for adults experiencing loss, as well as those supporting someone who is grieving. Together, these three platforms form a trusted, accessible suite of grief-education tools that complement local pastoral care and community resources.
