Sunday Morning Coffee

Sunday morning I usually grab a coffee and take time to catch-up on some stories I may not have had time to read throughout the week.  I thought you might enjoy them with your Sunday morning coffee as well. 

N.S. woman wants to make it easier for families to hug loved ones at the end

Much love to Taff Cheeseman from Branch Lahave who lost her husband Rick this summer. Taff is now fund-raising…Cuddles from Rick… for a Cuddle Bed, as a way for families to be close as one nears the end of their life.

Now, Cheeseman wants to make it easier for other families to be close to their loved ones at the end. She’s raising money in her late husband’s name to bring the first palliative care “cuddle bed” to the South Shore Regional Hospital.
