SUMMARY:April Education Session
DESCRIPTION:How Many Goodbyes Can One Heart Hold? Exploring the Hidden Emotional Toll of Caring in Palliative Care \nCaring for others at the end of life is deeply meaningful work\, but it also asks something of the heart.  Over time\, the accumulation of goodbyes and shared human moments can leave a lasting emotional imprint\, regardless of whether we pause to acknowledge it.  This session explores the often unspoken experience of grief in caregiving roles across healthcare and community settings\, and how repeated exposure to loss can shape our well-being\, relationships\, and sense of purpose. \n  \nPresenters: \n\nAlisha Leventis\, Palliative Clinical Coach\, The Hospice\nMaria Giannotti\, Coordinator Supportive Care\, EIDAR\, Community Outreach\, The Hospice\n\nDate: Thursday\, April 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.
