For those of you who missed it, Jody Kramer, the Client Services Coordinator, spoke with Darren McPeake of Mtn FM Radio fame, this past Tuesday to share insights about the upcoming events and fall programs being offered by the Sea to Sky Hospice Society.
We wanted to share Jody’s interview with you here, so that you too, could learn about what is on the fall schedule.
Thank you for your support Darren, Mtn. FM and Jody Kramer for all that you do on behalf of the Hospice Society!
This past week we held our first mini-training session: Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group
Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group is such an impactful way to support others. Carlee Baker’s insights were invaluable, especially in sharing practical tips for facilitating these sensitive discussions. This was a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers and learn from their experiences as well. These kinds of sessions really help build confidence and foster a supportive community.
Caroline generously shared two wonderful quilts that she made for us to use for fundraising and to have as a bed warmer in the hospice unit.
Thank you for your gift Caroline, we are honoured by your generosity.
The Sea to Sky Hospice Society has been fortunate to receive significant support through recent fundraising events:
The Sea to Sky Hospice Society extends heartfelt thanks to the community for their unwavering support and generosity. With gratitude, Leslie and the Board of Directors.
Share a tradition and gather in community for the 12th annual Memory Tree Event.
The holidays can prove to be a difficult time of year for anyone grieving. Take time to honour your loved ones that are with us in spirit, during this evening of love and light. This gathering will be a supportive community event. There will be a candle lighting ceremony, and a brief memorial for those grieving the death of a loved one.
Ceremony begins at 5:15 pm, Friday, November 29th, at the Squamish Town Hub (behind Cloudburst Cafe).
Co-hosted by the Sea to Sky Hospice Society and the Squamish Funeral Chapel.
We would like acknowledge the generous support of Home Depot for the trees, our amazing volunteers for installing the lights and to Cloudburst Cafe for the delicious hot chocolate! Thank you, your support means so much to us!
