When a resident in our hospice dies,
we present the family with a unique
Bereavement Box. It doesn't replace
their family member, but the message
we are providing is that even after the
death, we are still here and thinking
of each of them. We put a book with
daily passages if they wish to read it,
a candle, a bracelet (or one for each
family member), tea, kleenex, a stone,
words of affirmation from our grief
team and a beautiful suncatcher with
a crystal and rainbow beads to hang
up in memory. The box is for future
items to keep or for cards the family
receives from others during this time.
