August can feel like a reset button we didn’t know we needed.

Not a huge life overhaul. Not a perfect routine. Just one small moment each day to pause and ask: “What helped me today?”

A kind message. A quiet cup of tea. A child’s laugh. A walk outside. A meal shared. A boundary kept. A hard day survived. Sometimes gratitude isn’t about everything being okay — it’s about noticing the tiny things that carried us through.

This month, let’s normalise gentle reflection. With children. With teenagers. With families. With ourselves. Because when we practice looking for what is comforting, encouraging or meaningful, we slowly train our minds to notice more than the stress.

One small grateful thought a day can change the way August feels. 🌿

Anticipatory grief is one of the most common yet least talked about experiences when someone we love is living with a life-limiting illness or approaching the end of life. It can begin long before a death occurs, bringing waves of sadness, uncertainty, fear, and even guilt. Recognizing these emotions for what they are is an important step toward understanding ourselves and supporting one another with greater compassion.

For too long, anticipatory grief has remained in the shadows. Many people feel they shouldn’t grieve until after a loss, leaving them to carry their emotions in silence. By talking openly about anticipatory grief, we help break the stigma, normalize these deeply human feelings, and create space for honest conversations that remind people they are not alone.

At Seven Regions Palliative Care, we believe that acknowledging anticipatory grief is an act of love—not weakness. When we recognize and validate these experiences, we strengthen our ability to show up for those nearing the end of life, while also caring for ourselves and those walking this journey alongside them. Together, we can foster a culture where grief is met with understanding, connection, and compassion.

Every person deserves autonomy, comfort, and the right to make informed end-of-life choices. Compassionate care isn’t a privilege—it’s a human right. 🖤✨

As a death doula we hear from others that they just didn't know about all of the options when it comes to making decisions for end of life, and we remind them that it's not their job to know about all of that - it's our job, and it is an honour to help provide the support and compassion that makes such a difference to those who need it and seek out the care of an end of life doula.
