Another Day

Because Grief Doesn't Start when the Casseroles Stop Coming

Loss forever changes us. The Another Day Program is designed to meet the emotional needs of those experiencing grief while providing ways of finding a new normal.

As many as 1,000,000 people per year are emotionally impacted by someone who is facing death.

About Another Day

Because Canada’s health care system and mental health services are stretched so thin, many people don’t get the support they need to process their loss and subsequent grief.

HHA’s Another Day program is designed to fill this gap in care through targeted support services, as well as by training care practitioners and volunteers to offer this kind of support so that it’s available when and where people need it.

Each year in Canada, 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss and 5000 infants are stillborn.

How Another Day Helps

Those Facing Death

The journey of loss begins the moment a diagnosis is received, often turning one’s world upside down. The person you were before entering the doctor’s office is not the same as the one who leaves. Our community of professionally trained HHA Death Doulas, along with specialized support professionals, is here to help through this profound transition.

Those Who Love Them

Family members and loved ones of the newly diagnosed often feel anxious, overwhelmed, guilty, and helpless. These intense emotions need to be acknowledged and expressed. Another Day provides the support necessary for loved ones to work through their feelings and find the words they need to say goodbye.

Our Losses, Our Grief

Grief is deeply personal, and no two people experience it the same way. The "Our Losses, Our Grief" series within the Another Day program offers Progressive Healing Groups that focus on specific types of loss, such as pregnancy and infant loss, in collaboration with our Pre and Perinatal Hospice. These groups provide respectful, dignified, and non-judgmental support, tailored to each person’s unique grief journey.

When There Are No Words

"When There Are No Words" is a panel discussion series addressing losses often accompanied by bias or judgment. Through the personal stories of our panelists and active audience participation, we seek to create an open dialogue about how to better support those facing stigma, grief, and loss.

This event is a meaningful way to honour and celebrate the lives of parents, grandparents, siblings, children, colleagues, and loved ones lost before, during, or after pregnancy. We also remember beloved pets and those who donated life-saving organs. Your participation helps us continue our mission to offer comfort and support to those facing dying, death, grief, and loss.
