Donations and Reflections At Pilgrims Hospice
Dear Guests of Moments with Dr. Wolfelt Grief Support Seminars 2023,
As you know, the funds collected via tickets sold to our Caregivers’ session were to be donated to
The Roozen Family Hospice Centre - Pilgrims Hospice. We delivered ‘your’ donation today, and it was accepted with gratitude…
While there, we visited The Reflection Room where guests and their families - past and present - can sit and reflect and remember. It’s an idyllic, soft space featuring natural light, comfy chairs, and a water feature.
On one of its walls are crisscrosses of twine to which are clipped messages of love, remembrance, grief, and - yes - sadness and ‘missing’ from family members to their loved ones. Some are carefully penned by children to their Grandma or Uncle… others are penned by the guests themselves, reflecting on their experience in facing the end of their own life.
We wanted to share the words penned on one of the messages on the wall, as it seemed a fitting thank you to each of our guests who attended Dr. Wolfelt’s seminar and allowed for the donation delivered today:
“It would be wonderful if we devoted as much training, experience, compassionate service, and resources to the end of life, as we do to the beginning. Pilgrims is doing an outstanding job in that regard.”
It is signed simply ‘P.’
It is our hope that as our Park Memorial team continues serving bereaved families in our community, we, like Pilgrims Hospice, will do well our job of lending our experience and compassionate service to families walking the loss of a loved one.
