Linda-Rose Krasnor volunteers with grieving kids, through Hospice Niagara. She often takes her bereavement support groups into nature, where she finds people can feel more comfortable opening up about how they’re feeling.
As of this week, she has a new spot to bring her young charges to — a spacious grove in the woods at Ball’s Falls Conservation Area where you can find a special phone to call deceased loved ones, tucked up beside the base of the Niagara Escarpment and some massive boulders.
Known as a “wind phone,” the old-school handset is mounted on a stand amid the trees, not far from the Twenty Mile Creek.
