Individual family members will have something tangible with which to remember their loved one. The gift is expected to provide therapeutic healing of grief and its lingering affects. While difficult to measure, the surveys reveal testimonies and feedback that continue to indicate its impact. Families moved by the support that they receive will often request memorials to Quiet Oaks. This financial support is used to 'pay-it-forward' - ensuring quality hospice care for others. During Covid we have seen a strong decline in memorials due to the lack of in-person wakes and funerals. Our ability to connect to families and provide lasting memories through programs like the Heart Held Hands continues to be significant as this meaningful program does positively influence memorials we receive from families. The awareness this project generates of Quiet Oaks Hospice House as a whole to the broader community is to have a positive impact on census count- the number of individual's using Quiet Oaks services. Ideally, this art form will get noticed and provide a visual for people to share their story, long after their loved one passes. Social media and marketing efforts to share this artistry will also foster awareness.; Community An existing survey form sent to families 6 weeks following the passing of their loved includes a question regarding the feelings of impact the gift of art and art creation had in providing benefit in processing and dealing with grief- finding this gift 'somewhat, very or not at all beneficial in the process' along with space for free form notes and response.
