Brave Hearts grief support group launches in Pitt Meadows

Nicole O’Brien, widow of RCMP Constable Rick O’Brien, has founded Brave Hearts, a new community group designed to help individuals navigate grief, trauma, and loss. The group focuses on body, mind, and soul healing, providing a space for people to reconnect with themselves and others during difficult life chapters.

To launch the organization, O’Brien is hosting a ‘Pumpkin Smash’ event in Pitt Meadows. O’Brien, whose husband was killed in the line of duty in September 2023, stated that the group is intended to be different from traditional support groups, emphasizing connection and shared experiences rather than requiring members to be ready for formal discussion.
