Over the time of our grief we have attended family camps that have been
sponsored by both Sharp Hospice Bereavement Department and Hospice of the North
Coast. These have been a valuable tool for allowing the family to come together
to heal and to celebrate the life of Jamie. They have been in the beautiful
outdoor settings of Camp Stevens in Julian and Green Oaks Ranch in Vista. They
have balanced time between activities to do together as a family such as
concerts, campfires, honoring circles, meals and art projects and time with a
group that can be used for individual processing. There was a feeling at each
that we were taken care of from meals and lodging to special indulgences such as
care packages. We were able to bring a friend that was close to also participate
in the healing along side the family
The loss of this magnitude is devastating to a family. It is good that those in
the position of helping recognize how important is it that we heal together.
Thank You to both Sharp Hospice and Hospice of the North Coast for your love and
caring. We hope to go again to continue our healing and bond as a family and to
include Raell when he is old enough.
