THANK YOU - Community Outreach - Grief Bundles
|
|
It is with humble hearts that we thank you for your support of the Grief Bundle project. Like most great ideas, this started as a conversation and grew into a community-supported gifting to hundreds of frontline healthcare workers.
To date, we have distributed over 400 custom Grief Bundles to the ICU nursing staff at HCMC, Methodist, Fairview Southdale, St. Joseph’s, and the U of M. Response to the deliveries have included heartfelt texts, thank you notes, and as one nurse reported “Tears. Literally, there were tears.”
The Grief Bundles were a fabric bag with a candle, roller ball dispenser with a custom essential oil ‘calming blend’, along with a personalized meditation and ritual. It is no surprise that this effort caught the eye of other end-of-life professionals across the country. We will be sharing the ‘recipe’ for the essential oil custom blend and the pre- and post- work meditation and ritual so they may create their own Grief Bundles and share with the healthcare workers in their cities.
Thank you for supporting our frontline workers during this pandemic. Many of you have friends and family in those trenches, who head off to work every day, put in incredibly long shifts, then take a break and start over again.
To those of you who show up day after day, shift after shift, and week after week:
Thank you!
We see you.
We support you.
We are here for you.
