Hospice Huntsville along with the local library branches and the Huntsville High School bring to you “The Butterfly Project” A Tribute to Children’s Grief Awareness Day & National Grief & Bereavement Day
The Butterfly Project, launched by Hospice Huntsville last year, is dedicated to raising awareness about grief and loss within our community. Its mission is to educate the public about local bereavement support resources, offer direct one on one support to individuals coping with loss, and highlight key observances such as National Grief and Bereavement Day and Children’s Grief Awareness Day, both of which take place in the third week of November. Through this initiative, The Butterfly Project aims to foster understanding and provide a compassionate network for those navigating the difficult journey of grief. All ages are invited to colour/craft a beautiful Remembrance Butterfly.
The Butterfly Project started last year when Hospice Huntsville received a grant from the Children’s Grief Foundation of Canada for the project. Hospice Huntsville continues to offer the Butterfly Project once again this year to the community.
A beautiful kaleidoscope butterfly display will be showcased at each venue. Butterflies will flutter over to Hospice Huntsville/Algonquin Grace in the new year, to honour & cherish our loved ones.
There will be Hospice volunteer/staff member on hand to provide support and guidance. Local support information and specific library books on grief and bereavement.
