Supporting families and whānau in their grief and bereavement is an important part of the work we do. Each year we hold remembrance services for those whose loved ones died in our care in the past 12 months. We held the first of this year's services last night at our North Shore site, Kārohirohi.
It was a beautiful evening, brought to light by Maya and Haya, from Rangitoto College, who sang for us, and Mateo and Mariana who played the violin and keyboard. Readings were spoken in different languages, highlighting the multi-cultural nature of the communities we work in.
As we always do, we lit the candles of Love, Peace and Hope then each of our families lit candles for their loved ones and spoke their name.
Next week will be services at our Hibiscus Coast and Warkworth/Wellsford sites, and we hope that these will be just as beautiful for those families.
