BEREAVEMENT AFTERCARE SERVICES
"Continuing Our
Care For Your Family"
"What we have once enjoyed and loved we
can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part
of us." ---Helen Keller |
Death has taken away someone you love. You hurt and you wonder if you can survive this loss. Just as we all experience love differently, we also experience grief and loss differently. This is a natural reaction and it takes effort to continue to live without that special someone in our life. That is the reason the grief process is called
"grief work"…..And it is through the grieving process that we are able to heal.
We are here to help during your grief journey. We hope our aftercare services will help you to learn about the grief process, to identify and access feelings common to grieving, to learn new coping mechanisms, and to connect with others that may have had a similar experience.
We hope to provide a safe environment with the goal of healing and finding hope through the challenges that come with experiencing the loss of a loved one.
| Annual Holiday Candle Lighting |
|
| Each year during the holiday season, families of the community are invited to attend our annual memorial candle lighting to honor those we love who have died within the year or in previous years.
The ceremony includes a guest speaker to help with grieving during the holidays and candles are lit in remembrance.
