National Grief and Bereavement Day
The third Tuesday in November marks the annual National Grief and Bereavement Day in Canada. On this day, CHPCA encourages Canadians to engage government and all sectors of Canadian society in a national dialogue to identify and support access to the necessary resources for those living with grief and bereavement.

2023 Campaign Theme: Reach Out, Support the Grief Journey
About the Theme
When someone we know is faced with grief, we can find ourselves at a loss for words. We may be unsure of how to support our friends, family, or colleagues who are going through this difficult journey. But here’s the truth: You have the power to make sure they are not facing their grief alone.
From close or far, your actions can provide solace and connection at a time in their life when they need it most. We’ll provide you with simple yet impactful ideas that show how you can be a helping hand for someone in your life who is grieving.
Your Support Matters
Reaching out to someone facing grief with simple gestures of kindness can make a profound impact. Small but thoughtful actions can bridge the gap between isolation and healing. Even when it feels as though there’s nothing you can say, your actions can speak volumes to the people in your life who are navigating grief and loss.
Together, let’s break the silence surrounding grief. Let’s walk alongside those around us on a journey with grief. Join us on National Grief and Bereavement Day as we collectively learn to reach out, offering genuine support and compassion to those around us.
