Friends of Hospice

All are welcome to join us, whether your loss is hospice‑related or not, and whether it occurred recently or years ago. The purpose of the group is to gather with others in a confidential, small, and supportive setting. With care, compassion, and helpful resources, we gently explore the journey through grief together. We do ask that attendees commit to the full six weeks to help foster connection and healing within the group.

Community grief support is a vital part of the Friends of Hospice mission, offering comfort and connection to anyone grieving a loss. Whether or not the loss was connected to hospice care, all are welcome to find solace and understanding within our support groups.

📚 Join the Friends of Hospice Book Club! 💛

Join us for a thoughtful discussion of With the End in Mind by Kathryn Mannix. This book shares real stories from a palliative care physician who has spent her career walking alongside people at the end of life. Through compassion and honesty, it opens the door to meaningful conversations about dying, caregiving, and what matters most in life.

Whether you’ve read the book before or are diving in for the first time, you’re welcome in this conversation. It’s a chance to connect, reflect, and share in a supportive community.

Participants are encouraged to grab their own copy of the book in whatever way works best for them. And please don’t worry if you don’t finish it — everyone is welcome to join the discussion, whether you’ve read the whole book, a few pages, or are just curious to listen and share.

We were honored to have nearly 90 people gather with us and over 160 names read during an evening of reflection, remembrance, and community at the 2025 Trees of Light and Remembrance Ceremony. Your presence made the night truly meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to Bishop Place for hosting us and providing a wonderful meal, to Neill's Flowers and Gifts for the beautiful centerpiece, and to the Threshold Choir of the Palouse for their musical talents that added such peace to the ceremony.

If you weren’t able to attend, there is still time to visit the Trees of Light. The trees will be on display at Bishop Place Independent Living in Pullman and the Whitman County Library in Colfax through December 31st. Blank ornaments are available at both locations if you’d like to add the name of someone you’re remembering this season.

May the lights continue to bring comfort, connection, and hope. ✨

This Veterans Day, we give special thanks to all who have served our country with courage and compassion. Your dedication and sacrifice inspire us every day.

We’d also like to send a big shout-out to the 5th graders at Jennings Elementary School for sharing their hearts with hospice patients across the region. Their beautifully colored poems and thoughtful notes of inspiration brought smiles and gratitude to so many.

Many of you asked for more opportunities to gather and share so we’re grateful to bring Death Café to Oma’s Place.

Death Café is a space for open, thoughtful conversation about life, death, and everything in between. It’s not about agenda or answers, but connection, reflection, and listening. We hope to see you there!
