Tree of Lights

Losing someone you love is an incredibly challenging and heartbreaking experience. While grief is a natural part of life, it can feel extremely overwhelming. I feel very humbled and privileged that my role at the hospice allows me to offer comfort and support to families and friends of lost loved ones in our community during such difficult times.

While many people find all the support they need from friends and family, others may not be able to do so. It is so important that St David’s Hospice can offer a safe space for those who feel more comfortable sharing their difficult feelings with someone they are not emotionally connected to. Services like counselling are only possible thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.

Honouring the memory of a loved one can be a powerful way to navigate the journey of grief. By reflecting on shared experiences, celebrating their life through meaningful rituals, and finding ways to keep their presence alive in your heart, you can create a lasting connection that brings comfort. Whether it’s through storytelling, revisiting cherished places, or simply holding onto special items, these acts can help you heal and maintain an enduring bond.

This time of year is a natural time for many of us to reflect on the memories of those we have loved so dearly. St David’s Hospice’s Tree of Lights gives us an opportunity to dedicate a light to the memory of our loved ones.

As well as lighting your light and for each dedication you make, your loved one’s name will appear in this year’s online ‘Book of Lights’. If you would like the memory of your loved one to light up the tree this year please click on the image below. You will be taken to the website of our Tree of Lights partner, VISUFUND, to make your dedication.

Thank you – your support helps St David’s Hospice care for our patients and their families, now and for many years to come.

Kind regards,
Shey Jane
Bereavement Counsellor
