Valley Hospice Foundation supports the care and comfort of individuals in hospice or palliative care as they approach their end of life. Non-medical programs and services enhance physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being – not only for the individual, but also for those who love and care for them during this journey.

These recordings can support anticipatory grief, facilitate memory-making, and give families something they can return to again and again. Whether it’s a gentle song underscored by a loved one’s heartbeat or a collage of voices and stories, this tool becomes not just a therapeutic intervention, but a deeply personal gift.Songs for All Souls Nov 16/7pm St. John’s Anglican Church, Wolfville
