Call 800-272-3900 to RSVP (required) 6 7 8 9 Tea Leaves I woke one morning when it was still dark and very cold. I didn’t rise but instead snuggled down under my warm blankets and heavy quilt. The darkness enveloped me and the cold air pierced my exposed nose. I sank into a state beyond wakefulness but not really sleeping. I was comfortable, warm, and felt very safe. Suddenly something changed. I saw images of children, the world’s children. They had no blankets nor heavy quilts. Where were their beds? They had none. My eyes bubbled over with tears. What to do, what to do? I have no answer. Do you? -Elaine Martin 10 11 Bereavement Support Group Going through a loss on your own can be very difficult, but our caring team at Assisted Hospice Care is here to support you.
