I sat down with Erika and Michelle to discuss their journeys with rescue and how it affects ones mental health, why Manitoba is suffering from over run shelters, and ways that individuals can help.

Erika Shelvey, age 30 is a mom of 4, a business owner and has been working in rescue for over 4 years now.
“It has become part of my lifestyle and I couldn’t imagine not doing it. I have fostered with Funds for Furry Friends in Brandon, Mb and over time have become a volunteer with their rescue.”

Michelle Dominey, age 31, mom of 2 and a part owner of Blushed Beauty Studio.
“I will be celebrating my first year establishing “Stray Cats of Erickson”, a rescue that I created after brainstorming ideas to overcome the over population crisis of cats in my hometown.”

Today I sit down with Jenn Sherb and Delsie Martin of the Wellness Clinic to have a discussion about Grief.
We all share personal perspectives from our own journeys through it, hoping it’ll give some comfort to others who are navigating through their own grief.

WE ALL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY

IT'S UNIVERSAL.
AN EXPERIENCE WE ALL GO
THROUGH. YET. IT'S SO UNIQUE. WE ALL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY. YOU CAN LOSE THE SAME PERSON.
BUT STILL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY. YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE SAME TYPE OF GRIEF. BUT STILL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY. YOU CAN EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE LOSSES. BUT EACH LOSS WILL BE A DIFFERENT GRIEF. EACH EXPERIENCE WiLL BE UNIQUE. BECAUSE EACH RELATIONSHIP IS UNIQUE.
WE COPE DIFFERENTLY. WE GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY.
AND THE TAKEAWAY HERE IS THIS IS NORMAL AND TO NOT JUDGE. WHAT WORKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU.
WHAT WORKED IN THE PAST MIGHT NOT WORK NOW.
GRIEF IS AN EXPERIENCE WE HANDLE ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Jenn is the owner of the Wellness clinic right here in Brandon Mb, and Delsie is one of the many amazing counsellors there.
