Trust hosting event to remember patients and staff who have died

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust is hosting a special service of remembrance in Portadown next month for patients, clients and staff who have died.  

The event will take place on Sunday 5th March at 3.00pm in Seagoe Parish Centre, Portadown. 

Organised by the Chaplaincy Team, Human Resources and Bereavement Coordinator the event aims to give people the chance to reflect and remember their colleagues and loved ones. 

Laura Creaney, Bereavement Co-ordinator for the Southern Trust explained “What gives us meaning in life is our relationship with others. When a person dies the relationship changes, but does not end. Remembering is an important aspect of grieving, and the annual service provides a safe place where families and staff can come together to reflect on those who were so important in their lives” 

“We warmly invite any friends, relatives or carers of our colleagues and patients who have died to join us in this service of remembrance. As a tribute to patients and staff, the service will include a time of reflection and you may wish to bring a flower to create a floral tribute.”
