Mending Broken Hearts Healing Circle
2023-01-25, 2023-01-26 | Public Safety Office
Unresolved grief is a significant issue in Indigenous communities. Unresolved grief occurs when relationships are broken by death, separation, divorce or anger. People feel a sense of incompleteness, that they should have said “I love you” or they should have expressed how they felt in other ways. In addition, many Indigenous people have been affected by the historical and intergenerational trauma that are a result of government policies of relocation and assimilation.
