Thank you Hospice


 In one of our local supermarkets every year Hospice puts up 2 Christmas trees in the foyer and encourages people to not just make a donation and also decorate both of them with cards dedicated to loved ones who have passed on.

If you don't know who they are, Hospice NZ are a very worthy organization who support people who are not just struggling with family and friends who have life limiting illnesses but they also care for people who are dying.

I have tremendous respect for hospice. To help someone approaching the end of earthly life with comfort and dignity is such a worthy mission.

Bitter sweet.
A good idea. I wanted to thank the hospital staff who took such great, friendly care of our Mum. And... construction site - the staff and rooms had moved and no one could tell me where to.
Something like this would´ve helped.

It's a great organization here too (at least in Oregon, where I know people who have benefitted so much -- and where I know a woman who is a hospice nurse.)
