Candle-lit beach evening for lost loved ones

Jersey Hospice Care is inviting islanders to commemorate loved ones at St Brelade's Bay.

The beach will be illuminated with candles on Saturday evening (24 May), as islanders remember loved ones and find solace around others going through the same experience.

The special evening will have live music, readings and reflective time. 

Emily Churchill, Spiritual Care Lead at Jersey Hospice Care, says it's important not to grieve alone:

"There’s something very supportive about coming together with others who are also missing someone who has died.

"We don’t consciously remind ourselves that we’re grieving because a life has been lived, memories have been created, and love has been shared.

"Coming to Candles on the Beach allows you to stand next to a stranger, and without sharing a word, you know that they understand.”

Those wanting to attend are encouraged to book in advance and to donate for their candle.
