Bethesda Hospice Care's Annual Memorial on Saturday was a beautiful event honoring the memories of our loved ones. The event started with a Memorial Ceremony where names of loved ones we have lost were read aloud.📖

Participants were then able to take advantage of our new activity stations with resources designed to help honor and process the grief journey. We also got to watch our Memorial Wreath be filled with ribbons, each one representing a cherished loved one. Thank you to all who attended and made this event memorable and meaningful!🕊
