Ohio s Hospice LifeCare offered that chance Sunday at its 2021 Spring Memorial.
Ohio Hospice LifeCare helped nearly 60 families remember someone they lost during the hour-long ceremony at the Wayne County Fair Event Center. Each person s name was read aloud and a photo or two was shared in a slideshow. On days like today, moments like this moment, we share in our common humanity because we ve all lost someone that we loved dearly, said David Hargrave, a bereavement counseling professional with Ohio s Hospice LifeCare.
A moment to grieve
The smell of carnations filled the event center as they sat in buckets until ushers distributed them to the families when their loved one s name was called. During the slideshow, silent sobs could be heard just above the music and family members wiped tears and hugged each other when their loved one s photo appeared onscreen.
