No one understands this more than the team at St Luke's Hospice Plymouth, which provides specialist end-of-life care for people with terminal illness, and supports their families and loved ones.
The hospice is inviting people to remember, and celebrate, the lives of their loved ones at its annual 'Light Up a Life' services taking place at 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm on Tuesday 17 December at The Minster Church of St Andrew, Plymouth.
Free to attend, the services are open to all, regardless of faith, with many people returning each year because of the uplifting atmosphere and the heartwarming solidarity that comes from being among others who understand how it feels to be missing someone special.
