Official obituary:
We are deeply saddened to announce that Christine Maria (Durham) Bryk passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on September 21, 2023, at age 57.
Christine was born March 7, 1966 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, to Al and Mitzi (denHaan) Durham of Wileville. She grew up in Nova Scotia and Ontario, then began her nursing career in British Columbia. She married Scott Bryk and together they had four children, Max, Vanessa, Carter and Riley, and they loved watching them grow over the years. In 2022, after living and traveling throughout the country, she returned to her roots with her children and settled in Nova Scotia.
Christine has always lived a diverse and dynamic life while still remaining present and in the moment. She never lost sight of the importance of family. She would do anything for her children and was so proud of them. She would make time to see her parents, knowing they wouldn’t be around forever. Christine was a daughter, sister, aunt, mother, ICU nurse, triathlete, and poet. She wouldn’t just run; she was a sponsored Triathlete in BC. She didn’t just discover a passion for writing; she recently published two books with a third in the works. She couldn’t only kayak; she was in the midst of training to be a Kayak Guide. She wasn’t just an ICU nurse; she was approved for Travel Nursing to Africa next year. Her energy and enthusiasm for life were incredible and she lived life to the fullest. She was thoughtful, introspective, kind and caring beyond measure.
Christine will be greatly missed by her children, Max of Ontario, Vanessa, Riley and Carter of Bridgewater, parents Al & Mitzi Durham of Wileville, siblings Lawrence (Pauline) Durham of Ontario, Angela (Rob) Weld of Halifax, Charlene (Darin) Jimmo of BC, Brenda Lee (Peter) Veinot of Bridgewater and 12 nieces and nephews. All of these she loved and touched deeply.

Sorry for your family’s loss. She has left a lot of good words here for us all to heed.
Thank you ♥
I worked with Christine in Mississauga. She was always such a joy to work with. We bonded over our love for the outdoors and our interest in tiny houses and van life. She was always so proud of her kids, and would always smile when she talked about them. She would also always read me her latest poem. When she moved out east, I would still look out for them on Instagram. She will be very missed
Hi, I am a colleague who worked with Christine in Ontario. Thank you for sharing, we had many conversations about joy and gratitude. I will strive to keep finding and embracing joy in her memory.
I found comfort in Christine's words. I hope they give you peace. She found peace. Love to her loved ones...
I miss her. May she rest in peace.
I’m a friend of Christine’s from Vancouver we used to swim and run together and do triathlons together. She’s such a amazing person and we’re all very saddened by her loss. But her memory Will live in us all forever❤
