2015 LUAL Program for Web

Dear Friends,
We are honored by your presence at our 33rd Annual Light Up a Life event.
This is a cherished, time-honored tradition for our organization and we hope it
becomes, and remains, one for you as well.
With the holidays already upon us, we – community members, hospice families, donors,
supporters, volunteers, and employees – gather during this busy time of year to
remember those who have touched our lives.
Light Up a Life allows all of us the opportunity to remember, to celebrate, and to honor
the special people who have brought light into our lives. Collectively, we will illuminate
the darkness that may arise when our hearts are touched by loss, illness or sorrow.
Together, in community, we will say their names aloud. For a brilliant moment, our
loved ones will be right here with us. As we stand in the candlelight of this ceremony,
we hope you find hope regained in your life through this special ritual.
Again, we appreciate your time in sharing the spirit of your loved ones at this year’s
Light Up a Life. May your holidays be filled with the richness of memories, the
opportunities for telling stories, and with gratitude for those treasured individuals
who have left an enduring impact on our lives.

The serious illness or loss of a loved one changes us forever. At the Center for
Compassionate Care of The Elizabeth Hospice, we understand the range of
emotions, questions and challenges that illness, grief and loss may trigger.
Our counselors and specially trained volunteers can help our families and the
community-at-large find strength, courage and hope through their journey,
regardless of the type of illness or death experienced, through our individual
and family support programs:
HOSPICE BEREAVEMENT PROGRAM is individualized grief support for family
members for up to 13 months after the death of Elizabeth Hospice patients.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING offers one-on-one counseling services for adults
and children.
DROP-IN AND SPECIALIZED SUPPORT GROUPS address unique and
varied topics such as Child Loss, Perinatal and Infant Loss, Spousal Loss, and
Parental Loss.
ON-CAMPUS SCHOOL BASED PROGRAMS allow for easier access for
children and young adults to receive grief support or cope with a family member
with a serious illness in a safe, familiar atmosphere.
CAMP ERIN ® SAN DIEGO is an annual weekend bereavement camp offered at
no-cost to children and teens, ages 6-17, who are grieving the death of someone
close to them.
CUDDLE BEARS are lovingly created by volunteers using a favorite piece of clothing
from your loved one, turning a teddy bear into a precious personalized keepsake.
PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM offers a lifeline of support, education,
and resources.
