Written by Terri DeBoer and our very own, Janet Jaymin, this book aims to help those on their own grief journey, offering comfort, hope, and encouragement during times of loss. It serves as a reminder that while grief cannot be cured, peace can be found.
Proceeds from book sales will support the Faith Hospice Bereavement Department.
WEBINARS
In our webinar series, Hearts of Hospice, we discuss a wide range of hospice and palliative care-related topics, including bereavement.
