Bridge Hospice Bereavement Services will be hosting “Sew Many Memories”, a hands-on grief support program. Parting with clothing that belonged to our deceased loved one can often be an emotional decision to make. This program, which is open to any adult or family who has recently experienced the death of a loved one, will offer participants the opportunity to turn their loved one’s clothing heartfelt keepsake. No sewing experience is necessary and volunteers will be on hand to help.
Participants must attend both sessions but are able to leave when their item is completed on Saturday. The first group is the planning session; participants will examine sample projects and choose the item they will create, as well as learn what items best suit their creative needs. The second group will be the sewing session; participants will work with volunteers to turn their loved ones’ clothing into beautiful keepsakes to be treasured for generations.
Pre-registration is required by Friday, March 21, 2025.
