SUMMARY:April Education Session
DESCRIPTION:How Many Goodbyes Can One Heart Hold?

SUMMARY:June Education Session
DESCRIPTION:Sick of Being Sick:  Understanding Suffering Beyond Symptoms \nPeople living with chronic\, serious\, and life-limiting illnesses often express being “sick of being sick.” While this statement may reflect physical symptom burden\, it can also reveal deeper experiences of grief\, identity loss\, existential distress\, social isolation\, and total pain. This session will explore the unique and shared experiences of suffering in chronic and terminal illness\, helping hospice palliative care providers\, volunteers\, and community healthcare professionals recognize and respond to the multidimensional needs of those they support. Through case-based discussion and reflective practice\, participants will gain practical approaches to fostering personhood\, meaning\, dignity\, and compassionate care throughout the illness trajectory and at end of life. \n  \nPresenters: Mahoganie Hines\, BScN\, RN\, MHSc\, CHPCN(c) \nDate: Tuesday\, June 30\, 2026 \nFormat: Webinar – Participants can attend via Microsoft Teams either individually or as part of a viewing group hosted at the Erie Shores Campus or the Windsor Campus.  The Microsoft Teams link will be provided upon registration. \nTime:  Doors open and a light meal is provided at 5:00 pm for the on-site viewing groups \n\nErie Shores Campus (197 Talbot St. W.\, Leamington) – Welcome Centre\nWindsor Campus (6038 Empress St.\, Windsor) – Administrative Building #600\n\nPresentation begins at 5:30 pm \n  \nFor more information\, please contact (519) 974-7100 ext. 2277 or email education@thehospice.ca. \n  \nHospice Education Sessions are generously supported by The Don and Gail Rodzik Education Endowment.
