The Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity are offering their virtual Tree of Light commemoration service, Books of Honour, and an online dedication page to support those who have faced the loss of a loved one this year.
From 5pm on Saturday 18th December until the New Year, the virtual Tree of Light commemoration service will be available to view on the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity website.
The service will provide space and time for families and friends to remember and share those treasured memories in a variety of different ways. There will also be readings and music with time to light a candle to take a moment of reflection and remembrance.
Ann Kenny, who is Bereavement Listening Lead from the charity, to explain why its so important to them to hold this event:
"We recognise that Christmas can be a very emotional occasion, a time when we particularly think of loved ones who are no longer with us. These last few years have brought enormous challenges for everybody, and sadly many people face the loss of a loved one with little outlet to express their feelings properly, if at all."
Whilst we cannot meet in person as usual at our traditional Tree of Light events, here at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, we felt it was incredibly important to still offer a safe space and time for reflection.”
The Charity has also set up an online Tree of Light remembrance page where you can dedicate a memory to someone special. To make a dedication online, allowing friends and family all over the world to view, you can do so by visiting:
