Caring for the human spirit at Russell's Hall Hospital

[DGFT Chaplaincy @Dgftchaplaincy]

Our friends at @StPetersCradley hosted a beautiful and gentle Christmas service last night. Many RHH families attended and heard comforting words. There was a message about finding a light in the darkness, and we decorated the Christmas tree with our worries, memories and hopes

We are co-hosting a Gentle Christmas Service at St Peter's Church in Cradley Heath on Sunday 10th December at 6.30pm. We will be reflecting on love and loss, and where to find hope when life feels hard. All welcome.

It's National Grief Awareness week this week and we are encouraging people to talk openly about bereavement. You will never upset anyone by saying the name of their loved one - they were thinking about them anyway. 🤍
