It’s been a whole week since our Tree of Life opened at our Livonia Care Center, and well over 1,000 names now grace the trees on the display. If you are planning on visiting and adding your angels to the trees this weekend, be sure to pinch the ornament hooks on the trees tightly to keep them secure from the wind and snow ☃

Our Tree of Life cottage is stocked with angels for you to decorate with the names of loved ones, and we invite you to stop by any time to add to the display. 🎄

It's a of sorts -- at least when it comes to fashion! In honor of Angela Hospice's 40th anniversary, some of our team members paid homage to the year of our founding, 1985, and came to work in 1980s-inspired attire.

Thanks to our team members for showing their team spirit!

Today on Children's Grief Awareness Day, our Grief Counselor Joyce shared her insight about children's grief during the holidays.

"Their grief can come in waves—moments of playfulness followed by sudden tears or quiet reflection," Joyce wrote. "During the holidays, familiar traditions may feel different without the person they’re missing. The holiday season can intensify these feelings as reminders of their loved one appear in songs, decorations, family gatherings, or simple moments like setting the table."

You can read more and learn how to support children during the holiday season on today's blog: https://angelahospice.org/children-and-the-holidays/

Nurse Abby documented her first year as an Angela Hospice nurse by crocheting a granny square blanket. Each square she crocheted was more than artfully woven yarn ─ it represented one of her patients ─ a name, a story, and a life that Abby got to know.

“I like to think of it as my ‘guardian angels’ blanket,” she said. “It feels meaningful to me, especially at the end product, knowing that I have all these people that I can remember, wrapped up into a blanket.”

It’s difficult to cope with the loss of a loved one, especially around the holidays. Our Grief Care team is offering two holiday workshops this Saturday that may help.

Our Children's Holiday Workshop will offer a chance for kids ages 5-16 to make a craft in memory of someone special, to help them bring memories of their loved one into the holiday season, and their lives, in a new way.

Our Holiday Workshop for Adults will provide an informative conversation, to help you understand and cope with the symptoms of grief, while offering practical tips that can help you make the season a time to experience peace and joy.

Both workshops will be held at 10 a.m. at our Livonia facility. For more information, and to save your spot, visit https://angelahospice.org/workshop/
