About the Event
Each year, Let Grace In has a tradition of making memorial ornaments. We will carry on this tradition of creating a memorial ornament in memory of your child at this gathering on Saturday, December 7th. Following the Let Grace In event, you will have an opportunity to attend Kapiolani Medical Center for Women's Memorial Tree Trimming service for parents grieving their child at Central Union Church. This event is open to all bereaved parents, siblings, and ohana. You have the option to take your memorial ornament to this event (or any other ornament) to adorn the trees. The date for the Kapiolani event is TBD.
If this is your first or twenty-first Christmas without your child, it can be deeply painful.Â
