About the Event
Each year, Let Grace In has a tradition of making memorial ornaments. We will carry on this tradition of creating an memorial lantern/ ornament in memory of your child at this gathering on Saturday, December 2nd. On the following Wednesday evening, December 6th, 2023, Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children will have a memorial tree triming service at Central Union Church. This event is open to parents/ohana grieving the death of their child. You have the option to take your memorial ornament to this event (or any other ornament) to adorn the trees.
If this is your first or twenty-first Christmas without your child, it can be deeply painful.
