SESSION INFO: « Back to all events
Parents, grandparents, and caregivers of a child or family member with a disability who journey through aspects of grief are invited to come together in a safe space for connection, understanding, inspiration, capacity building, and non-judgmental support. Whether your experience is a new diagnosis, life stage, or loss, we welcome you to join the conversation circle. We are inclusive of diverse perspectives and belief systems.
Join guest parent Tyra Skibington, mom with 15 years of lived experience for a “night in” to chat with other parents and caregivers about grief and how it shows up in caring for a family member with a disability. Tyra will share stories, and provide guidance in staying curious through the grief journey. No PowerPoint and no learning objectives. Grab a beverage, find your seat and let’s connect. We all need a bit more light now- let’s find it in each other’s stories.

As a provincial organization FSI acknowledges that our work spans across all of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Indigenous territories in BC. Therefore, we respectfully honour all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, as well as their ancestors, who have lived here and cared for these lands. It is with gratitude that we can live, learn and do our work in the province now known as British Columbia.
