ANNUAL GATHERINGS
CELEBRATE LIFE – BC BEREAVEMENT DAY
May 15, 2011 at 5:30pm to 8pm
Admission is free.
Presented by:
Crossroads Hospice Society and First Memorial Funeral Services – Burkeview Chapel Music by Coastal Sound Children’s Touring Concert Choir.
Grieving takes time, often much longer than people expect. Too often following the death of a family member or friend people feel isolated in their grief and pressured by society's expectations to "get over it and move on". How does one cope well when the much needed support lessens? At Hospice we recognize the on-going nature of grief. Whether it has been 6 weeks, 6 months, 6 years or longer since the death of a loved one - it is natural for grief to surge from time to time.
We invite you to join us for a very special evening where openly expressing grief for the death of a loved one is accepted, understood and supported. Comfort may be found in gathering with others who are experiencing similar feelings of loss, by sharing stories of remembrance and by honouring the echoes of grief.
To be held at The Gathering Place in the Village & Leigh Square (just behind the Dairy Queen), 1100-2253 Leigh Square (behind City Hall, off Whyte Avenue and Shaughnessy), Port Coquitlam.
