On Friday, August 6th at the South Ogden Senior Center, Access Home Care and Hospice held a memorial service designed to remember and reflect upon those that we have cared for on hospice. It was an opportunity for Access Hospice staff and patient's family and friends to remember those that died on hospice and to say a few words of remembrance or appreciation. Attendees also memorialized their loved ones by bringing pictures.
The message was clear that, although time has passed, memories still linger for the families and for us. It has been a privilege as caregivers to be a part of everyone's family during the last stages of life. Access is aware of everyone's continued grief process, and often times we find ourselves missing those we have cared for as well. Occasions such as these often stir thoughts and emotions that hold precious moments of love toward those that we will not forget.
We believe this memorial service was a big success and an important piece in the grief process for family, friends and us as caregivers. Access Hospice would like to thank everyone that came and we enjoyed the opportunity to remember, honor, and grieve together. Thank you for sharing your memories and always remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
