They serve as a special way to preserve important moments in life after a loved one passes away. The bears are meticulously handcrafted by our dedicated hospice volunteers, people like Lisa Hernandez, . They are then gifted to surviving family members in the early stages of the bereavement process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each memory bear is crafted with skill and love, using a sentimental item, oftentimes clothing. This transforms a no longer used nightgown, t-shirt or sweater into a tactile keepsake that blesses a family throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/hospice\/emotional-care\/\">grieving process<\/a>. The bear also serves as a treasured family heirloom, easily passed down for generations to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Special Gift of Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/volunteer-with-memory-bear-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"volunteer-with-memory-bear\" class=\"wp-image-13109\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/volunteer-with-memory-bear-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/volunteer-with-memory-bear-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/volunteer-with-memory-bear.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/volunteering\/\">Hospice volunteer<\/a> Lisa Hernandez crafted this memory bear. It held special meaning for our team because it was a gift to one of our own, Salus Hospice social worker Myrna Vargas-Evert, her wife Becky and their two beautiful children. Lisa poured love into the memory bear through each stitch and every ounce of stuffing. Her goal was to craft something to serve as the perfect keepsake for these beautiful children. The gift was theirs to hold as they remembered their grandmother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we can\u2019t remove the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpguide.org\/articles\/grief\/coping-with-grief-and-loss.htm\">pain from their loss<\/a>, it is our hope that snuggling with this bear will help ease their hurting hearts. The children&#8217;s memory bear serves as a cuddly reminder of a special woman who helped to shape their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish these children, and this family blessings of love and happiness as they move forward with their lives. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/hospice\/\">hospice team<\/a> will continue to support them in the months to come and throughout the bereavement process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grandma\u2019s well-worn and much loved nightgown, a reminder of special hugs given to beloved granddaughters as they cuddled safely in her lap.

Today, Christine's role has shifted, and she focuses on providing families and seniors with support through digital media platforms as they navigate information, search for tools to overcome isolation and find ways to stay more connected to society while aging in place. Christine is passionate about helping seniors to maintain independence and providing families with the information they need to overcome challenges associated with dementia, physical health conditions and the aging process. She remains active in her community through volunteer work and advocacy, and in her spare time, enjoys spending time with her husband and three children."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13099"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13112,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13099\/revisions\/13112"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
