Losing someone is never easy, but COVID-19 has created even more challenges for those who have had to say good-bye to a loved one. The normal grieving process has been made more difficult with funerals being reduced and postponed.

To help support Manitobans who have experienced a loss during COVID-19 – regardless of whether the loss was due to the pandemic –Manitoba Blue Cross is providing up to three, free grief counselling sessions with qualified clinicians from our Employee Assistance Program. This offer is available to every Manitoban.
