At Myra’s Kids Foundation, our mission is to provide a safe place for children to honour and understand how they may be impacted by the loss of a loved one.

Ensuring no child grieves alone.

10/19/2026

There is a name for grief that goes unacknowledged.

Disenfranchised grief is loss that is not openly recognized, socially supported or publicly mourned. It shows up often after a death connected to su***de or substance use.

Families tell us they feel judged. Some stop saying how their person died. Some stop talking about them at all.

Silence does not ease grief. It isolates it.

Beyond the Silence is a half-day conference for the professionals who can change that. Friday, November 13.

Getting ready for our Mahjong event, with a little extra sweetness! 🧁💙

Feeling so lucky and grateful to be baking alongside Bak'd By Mona and some of our amazing Myra’s kids and junior counsellors to prepare sweet treats for our upcoming event.

It’s so special to bring everyone together in the kitchen, share some laughs, and be part of something that brings our community together.

A huge thank you to Bakes by Mona for sharing her time, talent, and love with us. We can’t wait to share these treats with everyone at Mahjong! 🀄️🍪

Sometimes the words we need to say are the ones we carry with us every day. At camp, there’s always a space to write, remember, share, and connect with the people we miss.

Hey 2026 winners… are you coming back to defend your title?

What an amazing day at QPAT 2026! 💙

We loved connecting with educators from across Quebec at the 162nd Annual Teachers’ Convention and sharing more about Myra’s Kids Foundation.

When a child loses someone they love, grief doesn’t end when they return to the classroom. Teachers are often among the first to notice when a child is struggling, and their understanding and support can make a real difference.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness about childhood grief, connect with educators and share how Myra’s Kids provides free grief support programs for children and families.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions and helped bring this important conversation into schools and classrooms across Quebec.

Together, we can help ensure no child grieves alone. 💙

"Always on my mind. Forever in my heart."

A simple reminder that love doesn’t end with loss. The people we miss continue to live in our memories, our stories, and our hearts.

What helped. What hurt. What we wish professionals knew.

Sarah Crotty came to Myra's Kids as a camper after her brother Eric died by su***de in 2018. She has spent the last five years as a volunteer, supporting kids walking the road she walked.

Jason Schwartz is a peer support specialist in long-term recovery. He was 15 when his mother, Robin, died.

At Beyond the Silence, they sit on a panel and speak honestly about the moments that helped and the ones that did harm. It is the part of the training most of us never got.

Kids can handle the truth. What can hurt is being left in the silence.

When grief becomes a secret, children and teens can be left trying to make sense of something they don’t fully understand, often without the words or support they need.

At the Myra’s Kids workshop, Jessica will explore the impact of keeping grief a secret and what we can do differently.

You’ll learn practical ways to talk to kids about grief, navigate difficult conversations, recognize what they may be carrying, and support them through their grief journey.

Here’s a little sneak peek into who Jessica is, what she’ll be sharing, and why this conversation is so important.

We can’t wait to have her with us.

This year, the Myra’s Kids Foundation Pickleball Tournament has a Kids Zone packed with fun for our youngest supporters. .ca will be back to do facepaint!

Grateful for all our pickle people! 🏓💙

This Thanksgiving, we’re feeling especially grateful for the players, volunteers, families, friends, and supporters who show up, play hard, pitch in, and make our tournament what it is.

Because this day is about more than pickleball. It’s about coming together, raising awareness around childhood grief, and supporting each other through something that no child should have to face alone.

Now we need you to join us!

Grab your partner, sign up your team, volunteer your time, or come cheer everyone on at the 3rd Annual Myra’s Kids Foundation Pickleball Tournament.
