Families and friends who have lost a loved one are being invited to a service of remembrance in the spiritual care centre at Forth Valley Royal Hospital, on Monday 12th December 2016 at 7.00pm.

The service will offer a gentle atmosphere where people can take time out to remember a loved one.  The short service will include music, reflections and quietness.

NHS Forth Valley’s Health & Social Care Chaplain, Philip Hacking, said: “As we approach the busyness of Christmas time, this short service will offer some space for people to be quiet and reflect on what, for some, has been a difficult year because of losing a loved one.”

This is the third year the service has been arranged by the NHS Forth Valley Spiritual Care Team in response to requests from relatives, carers and staff to offer space in the run up to Christmas to take time out and think about a loved one they have lost.
