We are keeping our sibling’s ceremony virtual this year, but are committed to making it a special event for families. Craft and Treat bags will be available for pick-up at the Peace House starting Saturday, December 4th.
Our event will include a specially written puppet show by Penny's Puppets. The show follows baby bear on his journey to understand what it means to have a sibling who came before him. Themes of death, grief, feelings, and how families can remember a baby who has died will be explored in story and songs for children. We will invite children to say the name of their sibling and the bell will be rung in his or her honor. The slideshow of our babies will be shown at the end, giving your family the option of staying or leaving the ceremony prior to viewing. We hope you will join us.
