Another Day

Because Grief Doesn't Start when the Casseroles Stop Coming

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

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

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

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.

How Another Day Helps

Those Facing Death

Loss begins from the point of diagnosis and often is associated with feeling that one’s whole world has been turned upside down. “Who I was” before entering into the doctor’s office is not the same as “who I am” upon leaving. Members of our professionally trained HHA Death Doula community, along with other professional counselors and support people who specialize in grief and bereavement are here to help.

Those Who Love Them

Anxious, dread-filled, guilty, helpless, and overwhelmed are some ways that family members and loved ones of the newly diagnosed describe how they feel. Filled with such intense emotions, loved ones also need to talk. Another Day helps people work through these feelings and provides the support for them to acknowledge and say what they need to in order to say goodbye.

Our Losses, Our Grief

Understanding that no two people grieve in the same way, our Another Day program’s “Our Losses, Our Grief” is a series of Progressive Healing Groups focusing on losses, such as pregnancy and infant loss. These groups bring individuals together with respectful, dignified and non-judgmental support, specific to where they are in their grief journey.
