The purple poppy is worn in remembrance of the countless animals who stood beside soldiers in times of war: horses, dogs, pigeons, and so many others who carried messages, pulled supplies, offered comfort, and gave their lives in service.

Coming out is a deeply personal journey - one that doesn’t follow a timeline or look the same for everyone. Whether you have come out, are thinking about it, or choose not to, your identity is valid. Your story matters.

As a death doula, I have witnessed firsthand what this quote is trying to say: that death is not a single moment, but a slow unraveling. A series of tiny goodbyes. A million little losses that come long before the final breath.

Yom Kippur has ended.
For those who observed, may you step into this new chapter with gentleness and clarity. The work of reflection, forgiveness, and healing doesn’t end with the fast — it continues in the quiet choices we make moving forward.

We honour the children who never came home, the survivors of residential schools & the 60s Scoop, those taken in the TB legacy, the MMIWG2S, and the generations forever impacted.
Reconciliation starts with truth. It’s more than a day — it’s a shared responsibility.
Every child matters. Always. 🧡

August 30th is a reminder that grief touches every one of us & that healing takes time, compassion, and support.
Grief isn’t linear, & there’s no “right” way to feel. Not everyone will experience the 5 stages of grief & they don’t always come in order.
