The Navigating Grief group will meet on Tuesdays at 2:00PM via Zoom from Sept. 14th to Oct. 19th and will be facilitated by Hospice’s Bereavement Coordinator, Kate Favaro, CRPA.
The group will help participants develop healthy develop healthy coping skills and provide peer support to foster growth and healing. The sessions are structured to build upon each other and attendance to all 6 sessions is essential.
Navigating Grief is open to anyone 18 and older who has had a loved one pass away in the last 6-12 months. (The deceased individual did not have to be served by Hospice.)

2020 Hospice Memory Trees

When a star in your life becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. 

Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley invites you to share the memories of those you treasure by joining with others in our annual Memory Tree campaign.

Celebrate the life of someone you cherish and light up the holiday for someone who is terminally ill by purchasing a star in honor of someone who has touched your life and left it changed forever. 

Traditionally, throughout the month of December, two trees adorned with hundreds of stars representing precious loved ones are displayed at the Hospice Center.

This year, however, we are not able to invite you to our building to view the trees.  Instead, we invite you to participate in the Hospice Memory Tree campaign by hanging a star for your loved one on your tree at home.

With your donation, you will receive up to ten (10) Wooden Star Ornaments painted with your loved ones’ names to hang in your home.  Your loved ones’ names will also be included in our virtual 2020 Memory Tree Book. (You may submit an unlimited number of names to be preserved in our Memory Book.)

Your contribution will help to ensure the highest quality end-of-life care and grief support continues to be available to our friends and neighbors in St. Lawrence County when they need it most.  Thank you for your support!

Yes! I would like to remember a star in my life by donating to the 2020 Hospice Memory Trees
