A Meadow Lake woman is creating an informal support group for people in the community who are living with the weight of grief.
Angela Caplette is not formally trained in mental health or grief counselling though she says her initiative is intended to simply be there for people and form connections with people in the community who may be suffering with the loss of a loved one.
“This is more of a get-together to share stories and knowing there are others that feel the same way I do. I just want to [create] something so people don’t feel alone,” Caplette told meadowlakeNOW.
Caplette’s 20-year-old daughter passed away nearly seven years ago. She lost her father two years after that, and lost her brother in recent months. She says she seems to form connections with people who recognize and relate to her suffering.
