Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
I
want
to
read
a
letter
describing
their
work,
a
quote
after
losing
my
sister
dana
suddenly
last
september,
I
wasn't
sure
how
I'd
cope
with
such
immense
pain
and
loss,
while
supporting
my
mom
niece
her
partner
and
my
two
children,
as
well
as
a
large
community
of
friends.
She
collected
through
her
life
of
volunteering
and
pure
kindness
from
her
heart,
nanaimo
hospice,
opened
their
arms
to
my
children
and
me.
The
staff
and
volunteers
gave
us
a
safe
place
to
share
our
innermost
sadness
safely
and
walked
me
through
the
stages
of
grief.
A
Allowing
me
to
have
the
confidence
to
share
my
ugliest
moments
of
grief
with
unconditional
support.
Covet
prevents
us
today
from
the
hugs
smiles
and
sensory
sessions,
but
it
hasn't
stopped
the
team
from
providing
100
percent
care
and
love.
I
have
bi-weekly
calls
with
a
caring
and
sharp
listening.
Counselor,
that's
allowed
me
and
my
children
to
continue
to
heal.
I
don't
even
want
to
consider
emotionally,
where
I'd
be
without
nanaimo
hospice
and
the
resources
they
provide
in
my
life.
A
End
quote:
everything
is
different
now,
including
how
we
support
great
organizations
like
nanaimo
hospice
and
so
this
year,
instead
of
the
hike
for
hospice,
this
is
turned
into
an
online
format
hustle
for
hospice,
and
this
year
noah
is
walking
for
his
grandfather.
Al
who
died
two
years
or
sorry.
Two
weeks
before
the
hike
noah
ran
all
the
way
around
westwood
lake.
He
won
the
prize
for
the
fastest
and
youngest
participant.
If
you
can
join
noah
and
the
other
members
of
our
nanaimo
community
in
hustling
for
hospice
and
raising
funds
for
this
fantastic
organization,.
