Calvert Hospice will host its second Memorial Butterfly Release to celebrate loved ones who passed while on hospice care over the last year.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 18 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The ceremony will be held rain or shine at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center located at 13480 Dowell Road in Solomons.
“This event embraces and honors the connections we make in life that don’t end with the death of a loved one. Our hope is that this ceremony will help our patients’ families with their grief and healing process,” said Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director of Calvert Hospice.
Calvert Hospice families wishing to participate may elect to purchase a butterfly in the name of their loved one. Included with their donation is a personalized acknowledgement card sent to a designated recipient.
In addition, there will be music, a spoken program and the Annmarie Gardens’ artLAB along with volunteers will provide a creative, therapeutic grief activity that is open to all ages.
The ceremony will conclude with the release of almost two hundred Monarch butterflies in the Butterfly Garden.
