Camp Courage
June 29, 2024
It’s a FREE summer day camp held in June of every year for children that are between the ages of 6 & 14 that have experienced the recent loss of a loved one. We provide certain activities that promote the healing process, give the children the ability to express their feelings with other children who are experiencing the same type of grief, remember their loved ones and gain an understanding of what to do with that grief.
It is open to the community and offered at no cost for the children. It is hosted at Camp Michindoh. The day is packed with fun activities geared toward helping children learn how to cope with their grief. Some activities include visiting the Nature Center, decorating memory boxes, making sensory bottles, hiking, water activities and much more!
Butterfly Release
July 12, 2024
Hospice of Hillsdale hosted our 1st Butterfly Release located at Stocks Park. A special thank you to Eagle Funeral Homes, Hampton Funeral Homes and Edward Jones for their generous sponsorship of this event.
We gathered to honor and remember our loved ones who have touched our lives so profoundly. As we released our individual butterflies, each flutter of wings represent a cherished memory, a life celebrated, and a love that endures beyond the boundaries of time. We watched these delicate creatures take flight, we find comfort in the knowledge that our loved ones’ legacies continue to inspire us and guide us. Much like the butterflies living on to pollinate the flowers and bring beauty to the world around us.
