This week, we hosted a Gingerbread House Spectacular with the kids from our Help Us Understand Grief Program.
It was a special time filled with creativity and understanding, reminding us of the importance of coming together to support one another through the journey of grief.
Thank you @POGO4kids for inviting me to share my story 💛

I feel like I’m only using Twitter (X?) to check to see how many people are still here. I hate the name. Hate the logo. But there’s so many cool people here 😩 #medtwitter #academictwitter are any of you on Threads? IG? X just gives me the heebie jeebies
Ok so now that the logo and brand are officially changed are we collectively deciding to stay on Twitter? Idk it’s just not cute. Kind of ominous …

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.
Hi so I just learned that on #threadapp you don’t us hashtags OR gifs and I don’t know how to feel. @MetaAI I ask again, why did you do this?! #GiveMeGifs
So I got Threads and I kind of feel like I’m cheating on Twitter since it’s the literal exact same thing…

We're always working to update our resource database but sometimes, we just don't have what you're looking for (yet!)
The next best thing? Being able to connect with #childlifespecialists from across Canada and around the world to support your need for information and resources.
What you see: we made bracelets 💁🏽♀️
What we did: processed the anger she feels since her dad died, the frustration she has with the “fight” metaphor ppl use re #cancer, while making bracelets with phrases and nicknames her dad used to say to pick her up when she needs it
