 “You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can do to help you not only to die peacefully, but also to live until you die.” - Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement. The Barrie Family Hospice of Elgin officially opened the doors to its residential hospice, lovingly known as The Cottage, a year ago, right here in St. Thomas. One year of no-cost, compassionate, 24/7 end-of-life care for local Elgin County and St. Thomas families. One year of life-changing interactions, powerful connections, and final memories which will be felt for generations. One year of community impact that is hard to summarize but means more than any words could ever explain.
