Briain Kelly, 26 Sep
Galway University Hospitals will hold their 14th Interfaith Memorial
Service for all deceased patients next week.
The memorial service will take place on Tuesday, October 1 at 7pm in The
Clayton Hotel, Ballybrit.
The service aims to provide a space to support families in the grief they
are experiencing, in a respectful and empathetic way.
Sharon Fahy, Co-Chair of GUH End of Life Care Committee said, “The theme
for this years’ service is “Memories” as we come together to remember and
honour our patients, and particularly those who died in 2023.”
“We hope that those bereaved will take some solace knowing that their
loved one has not been forgotten.”
“The service is a very special event for our hospital staff as we remember
our deceased patients and renew acquaintance with their families together
acknowledging the grief of their loss, while also remembering them and
their unique individual personality.”
Galway University Hospitals cares for patients from a wide geographical
area and we want to reach out and acknowledge the loss felt by all
families and friends who have been bereaved.
