Receiving a letter like this from loved ones of a patient is a beautiful reminder of the impact compassionate care, meaningful connections, and being truly present can make.

We are incredibly grateful to Mike for taking the time to share his experience and for allowing us to be part of his mother’s journey. It is a privilege we never take for granted.

To the families who trust us with the care of their loved ones, thank you. Your words mean more than you know.

We’re so grateful that you walked alongside us as we tried out a new approach to raising much-needed funds in 2026. From music and massage therapy to heartbeat recordings and Touch of Grace, it’s because of you that we can continue to provide those special extras unique to Grace Hospice.

While we missed seeing all of you, by switching to an Un-Gala format we were able to save over $30,000 in typical in-person event expenses! That’s $30,000 more going directly to support the integrative therapies that help patients focus on what matters most at end of life.

If you haven’t yet had a chance to support this incredible work, we invite you to make a donation in honor or memory of a loved one today! Any gift, in any amount, truly makes a difference. https://bit.ly/44rlSuU

Each day of our Un-Gala Gala week, we are providing ideas and inspiration as you take time to restore, honor loved ones, and share your experience with the Grace Community.

Today’s theme: REST
The body and mind need recovery, not just the heart. This is especially true for our caregivers and our bereaved. Today, try to remember that rest is not giving up. It is providing your body with what it needs to keep moving forward with love and care.

Activity Prompts:
• Engage in a simple breathing or mindfulness exercise to help center yourself and encourage a restful state of body and mind. We like this one. (https://www.mindful.org/a-10-minute-guided-meditation-for-working-with-grief/)
• Set aside at least 30 minutes for intentional quiet time: say no to an obligation; have a slow morning; take a nap.

We hope you join us this week for intentional remembrance, self-care, and connection. We invite you to participate in whatever way feels right to you; each day, we’ll post a framework with ideas and inspiration as you take time to restore, honor loved ones, and share your experience. Your gifts & generosity throughout the Un-Gala Gala week will support services not covered by insurance, helping us build a legacy of incredible end-of-life care for everyone who needs us.

Today’s theme: Grieve
Grief is a universal experience, but each person's grief journey is as unique as their loved one. Today, focus on giving yourself the grace to feel whatever comes up, however it comes up, as you walk this path. Remember that there is no right way to grieve.

Activity Ideas:
• Write a letter to your loved one, play their favorite music, or look through pictures of them.
• Explore grief support resources that feel right for who you are and where you are right now. These suggestions (https://gracecaring.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Helping-Yourself-Heal-When-Someone-Dies-new.pdf) and these books (https://gracecaring.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Suggested-Books-List-2026.pdf) could be a good place to start.
