This holiday season, ConnectionsPlus Healthcare + Hospice welcomes the community to join in heartfelt traditions that cherish memories, foster connection, and embrace generosity.
Light Up A Life
The annual Light Up A Life ceremony offers families and friends a heartfelt way to remember those who have passed. This year, the focus is on a simple yet powerful gesture: as each loved one’s name is read aloud, attendees will light a candle in their honor. The room will gradually glow with warmth and memory — a beautiful symbol of love that continues to shine.
This year’s local ceremony will be offered on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 5:30 p.m. at Kendal Hall, Kendal at Lexington.
Holiday Grief Workshop For those navigating loss during the holidays, ConnectionsPlus will host a Holiday Grief Workshop on Dec. 11, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at its Lexington office.
This creative session provides a safe space for expression and connection, helping participants find comfort and community during a challenging season.
Registration is required. Call (540) 463-1848 for more information.
