Our Mission
To heal communities by cultivating space for people to process grief and loss without shame because loss is a constant companion and grief is an inescapable part of our human experience.
Welcome to Thoughtful Transitions
Thoughtful Transitions was born from deeply personal experiences and a calling that grew clearer with each life event. In 1989, the passing of my cousin Pauline opened my eyes to the profound impact of being present during a loved one’s final moments. This experience was transformative, teaching me the value of facing the complex emotions of death with courage and love.
The loss of my grandmother Alberta in 1995 further emphasized the importance of dignity and foresight in end-of-life planning. These personal milestones, coupled with my roles in faith communities and the encouragement of mentors, guided me toward supporting others through their most vulnerable times.
Since founding Thoughtful Transitions in 2019, my work has expanded to support individuals and communities impacted by homicide, sexual violence, racialized violence, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence. Our services now also encompass assisting those navigating grief related to environmental loss, acknowledging how our surroundings deeply affect our sense of stability and security.
Thoughtful Transitions is dedicated to providing compassionate and equitable support through life's transitions, honoring every individual’s journey with the care and respect it deserves.
