351 Grief Awarness Month

PROCLAMATION

 

Grief Awareness Month

 

WHEREAS, November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Therefore, The Schorman Center, “A PLACE FOR HEALING AND LOSS,” an outreach of Hospice of Warren County acknowledges the importance of GRIEF AWARENESS; and

 

WHEREAS, The Schorman Center, an outreach of Hospice of Warren County acknowledges the two million deaths in the US each year which impacts approximately 20 million people; and

 

WHEREAS, Because grieving is a natural and normal response to death and other losses, all persons are urged to be sensitive and supportive of their families, neighbors, friends and colleagues who are adjusting to a significant loss in their lives; and

 

WHEREAS, Time set aside for grief awareness will heighten awareness of our human mortality and address our common need for mourning and healing and will promote spiritual, mental, physical and emotional health; and
