Doing the work we do, we realize that ‘time’ is an especially precious commodity. Time is something our patients don’t have. I wish we could give them time, but that is out of our hands. We are, however, able to give them quality of life. We understand that every person we care for is a unique individual with a lifetime of experiences, relationships and gifts to share. Hospice brings comfort, dignity and peace to help people live every moment of life to the fullest, leaving loved ones with memories they can treasure.

Speaking of time, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our unsung heroes – our volunteers, who give selflessly of their time all year long.

During this season of joy and giving, please remember those amongst us that are sad. Reach out to the lonely, the sick, the dying… Spare a thought for those that will have one final Christmas with their loved ones and for our wonderful nurses who will be spending Christmas caring for our patients.

We know that 2018 will bring with it all-new challenges, but we look forward to our sixth year of caring and delivering exceptional service to our community.

So, from our homes to yours, we send you warm wishes of wellbeing over the festive season. It is our sincere wish that 2018 be filled with compassion, love, laughter and good health.

Much love,

Tersia Burger, CEO Stepping Stone Hospice & Care Services
