Where Hope & Healing Live
The GriefCare Place opened its doors in June of 1997. It offers a SAFE PLACE where those grieving the death of a loved one can find support, education, understanding, and a caring place to heal. The center serves individuals of all ages, offers a home-like atmosphere and is a non-denominational faith based organization where those of strong faith or those of none can come comfortably.
The GriefCare Place educates participants about grief and provides caring volunteers who walk alongside and companion them during the grieving/healing process.
The GriefCare Place charges no fees and is funded entirely by fundraising events, donations, and memorial gifts. Since it is a charitable, non-profit organization, all donations are tax deductible under IRS section 501(c)(3). Financial support is a continuous need, greatly appreciated, and is responsibly spent.
*cut myself some slack - I am grieving
*Embrace the reality that
there will be tears
*Not get wrapped up in
what other people expect
*Look for small moments of
peace and comfort
*Reach out to & appreciate those who support me
*Take space from those who do not support me
*Remember that traditions can ebb, flow and flex
*Take a break whenever
I need to
*Seek comfort in
memories
*Remain open to joy, even when it feels impossible
Remember...
we don't get over it
we get on with it !!
25th Anniversary
Celebration
Open House
Saturday, August 20
Thank you to all who stopped by to celebrate our Silver Anniversary at the GriefCare Place!
It was a fun time of connecting and in some cases reconnecting with others we may not have seen for awhile.
There was an opportunity to greet Lou-Ann and Bruce Redmon and share memories and stories.
There was also a room filled with photo albums and posters of past events. We hope the attendees were able to find themselves in some of those pictures!!
A special THANK YOU goes out to the sponsors of the event who made it possible to provide some delicious refreshments and beautiful decorations to make the event a wonderful celebration!
If you don't feel your best today, allow yourself that space!
This is HARD!
You don't have to process it all at once...
TENDERLY
May time heal your sorrow
GENTLY
May friends ease your pain
SOFTLY
May peace replace heartache
and may warmest memories remain
Love gives us memories..
Faith gives us strength
