On Tueday Jan 22'08 Dr. Paola Lake will be my guest and guest co-host our conversation will be regarding grief and how to find relief.
We will have two additional guests, Wendy Pratt and Rosemary Brown, who will be able to share with us what Hospice is and offers to our community, the self-care clinics that are offered as well as the training programs. The topic of conversation will be grief and the grieving process, how it is individual and unique for each of us as well as the manor in which grief can return without warning quite often.
Wendy Pratt - Executive Director of Nanaimo Community Hospice Society for the past 8 years.
NCHS has been serving the community for the last 27 years and Wendy says she has a real passion for this work and believes that the programs and services offered by NCHS truly make a positive difference in the lives of individuals facing end of life issues in our community and to the health and strength of our community as a whole.
Rosemary is a Bereavement Counsellor at Nanaimo Hospice. She companions youth and adults along their healing journeys after the death of a loved one. Although quite new to the Hospice movement, she loves what Hospice does overall and counts it a privilege to work with clients during this difficult time in their lives.
To refresh your memory about Dr. Lake check the Living for the Health of It show page from Dec 11'08.
I'm looking forward to sharing our conversation with our listening audience.

Linda Ogle has a Masters of Social Work and is near completion of a Certificate in Dispute Resolution. Her work experience includes over 15 years as a social worker in child protection, adoption and foster care. She was a foster parent for 10 years. During that time she facilitated parenting groups for foster parents. She also gave clinical workshops for foster parents and was the foster parent representative on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa-Carleton. In addition she designed and facilitated parenting groups for adoptive parents of challenging children. For 2 years Linda was a part time therapist for the Family Service Centre of Ottawa-Carleton.
After moving from Ottawa to Vancouver 7 years ago, she spent 3 years as a parent–teen mediator for the Purpose Society in New Westminster. During this time she facilitated a parenting course for parents with Ministry involvement and another for parents struggling with their teenagers. She also completed adoption assessments and provided adoption education in Surrey. For the past 4 years Linda has been on the B.C. Child Protection Mediation Roster and does mediation work full time.
Her personal experience as a foster parent and as a mother raising 4 daughters (she is now a proud grandmother of 4 young grandchildren) also taught her the lifelong value of sharing parenting skills.
Her professional experience - she currently keeps in touch with the issues foster parents face through her mediation practice - has convinced her that facilitated educational groups can be invaluable to the work of foster parents and others who are parenting challenging children.
