Caring For Employees: End of Life Care

With so many life demands, employees grappling with the loss of a loved one may struggle to balance professional demands with the emotional weight of bereavement. This can be even more challenging for anticipatory grief related to an end-of-life situation.

Grief is a universal experience, but its impact on the workplace often goes unseen.

A recent survey by the Canadian Grief Alliance revealed that 50% of grieving Canadians feel inadequately supported, and 53% report their grief goes largely unrecognized by others. A resounding 83% reported that it was helpful to be asked about their grief.

This is where Hospice Mississauga can help.

We offer support to those navigating the loss of a loved one under hospice care whether in the community or in our future Hospice Centre that officially broke ground on November 28th.

It is shocking for many to know that right now Mississauga does not have a dedicated Hospice Centre. We provide all our support in the community, impacting the lives of more than 2500 people each year.

Our tailored grief services extend beyond the patient, ensuring families, friends, and caregivers find solace through counselling, peer groups, and compassionate guidance. By supporting people in their grief, we help them build resilience, understanding, and promote mental wellbeing they can bring back to their teams.

A strong community is built on compassion, and compassion requires the whole community. By connecting with Hospice Mississauga, employers can show leadership, support their teams, and contribute to a thriving Mississauga.
