Hospice of Stanly announces the Hope Blooms event for anyone in the community who has experienced a loss. The grief walk will be as a drop-in event 4-6 p.m. Thursday at City Lake Park in Albemarle.

Hope Blooms is a reflective, peaceful walk on a handicapped-accessible path. Small groups or individuals are encouraged to walk the path in quiet reflection as they pause and listen to seven readings on grief. At each stop, a flower is presented along with a meaningful message related to the grief journey.

“Hospice of Stanly has been honored to host this event for many years,” said Hospice of Stanly Bereavement Coordinator Michaele Conners, MA, LCMHCS. “All are welcome as we help our community find meaning and understanding in their grief journey.”

The event is made possible by funding from the Stanly County United Way and donors in the community.
