OUR MEMORIAL SERVICE
Additional Information
This day we will take a little time to remember those we loved and we have lost to death. They may be gone but they will never be forgotten.
The Lighthouse Community Hospice would like to thank you for giving us the privilege of caring for your loved one and trusting us in supporting you as guardians of the gateway to death. No one teaches us how to die or how to support the dying, but we are here. We are still here through bereavement and grief. Hospice is holistically for the entire family. We will continue to support you as needed.
Today we will light our lanterns for them...and remember.

DOCUMENTARIES: Grief Walker
https://www.nfb.ca/film/griefwalker/
This documentary introduces us to Stephen Jenkinson, once the leader of a palliative care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital. Through his daytime job, he has been at the deathbed of well over 1,000 people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Indicting the practice of palliative care itself, he has made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life.
