Our Story

The Compassionate Grief Centre had its beginnings in the personal journey of our own founder Jamie Godfrey who experienced a devastating loss of her own. After the very painful death of her beloved unborn baby girl that her and her husband named Hope, she found herself grappling with overwhelming grief and struggled to find the support and understanding she needed to cope with her emotions. Traditional Mental Health Therapies offered relief, but she felt that there was a deeper, more compassionate specialized approach needed to help individuals navigate their grief journeys.

Driven by her own experiences and a profound desire to transform the way society deals with grief, Jamie decided to create a place of solace and healing for those mourning the loss of a loved one and loss. Drawing on her empathy for others, Jamie set out to establish a unique specialized charity that would provide not just professional counseling but also a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to explore and express their grief and loss.

With a team of like-minded professionals, she founded the "Compassionate Grief Centre" with the vision of offering comprehensive support that addressed not just the emotional aspects of grief but also the spiritual, physical, and creative dimensions of healing. The center provided various services, such as individual and support group therapy along with education to help people with their loss.

Word of the Compassionate Grief Centre's approach quickly spread, and it became a beacon of hope for those seeking comfort and understanding during their darkest times.

Through the tireless efforts of Jamie and her compassionate team, the centre continues to blossom into a network of support, touching the lives of countless individuals who found solace and healing within its walls. The Compassionate Grief Center is becoming living tribute to love, loss, and resilience, hopefully changing the way society approaches grief and reminding us all of the transformative power of empathy and understanding in times of profound sorrow.
