Hospice

I went ot a Hospice tree lighting tonight...It was a memorial to my Mom and my baby cousin ( age 20 ) who recently passed due to cancer...What a wonderful event...Emotional and teary but so wonderful...It is called the Tree of Life ceremony....

You put their names on their tree...and they ahve a ceremony with singers and a little "speech" from Hospice about lighting and about life and memories, etc...and they have all the names on a HUGE Christmas tree...then they light the tree...And all the names and bows light up...It was wonderful...emotional...sad...heart wrenching...inspiring.... ALl thos things...but through the tears, it warms your heart thinking your loved one is remembered and you are celebrating their life.... God bless Hospice and the people who work there...

For everyone suffering a loss at this time, and this is a tough time for many, may God Bless you and may you find peace in their memories, may they light up your life in rememberence....may they always be with you.... may you feel their strenght in these upcoming difficult days......

Beautiful. I'm sure this event was very comforting for you.

I lost Mom about a year ago, right before Christmas. I was doing well, until I read your post :lol:
What a beautiful idea. Thank you for sharing it with us.
SheepieBoss, I am so sorry...I hope I didn't make things more difficult! :oops: :oops:
