Light Up a Life - Santa Rosa

Providence Hospice of Sonoma County's Light Up a Life brings the community to Historic Railroad Square in Santa Rosa for an evening of remembrance, music and candlelight in honor of loved ones who have passed. Beginning at 6 p.m., the ceremony features the lighting of a memorial tree whose lights glow through the holiday season, each one a silent tribute to a life remembered. The gathering is free and open to all, regardless of whether your loved one received hospice care, and those who wish may donate to dedicate a light in memory or honor of someone dear. Grief can feel especially heavy during the holidays, and this warm, welcoming tradition offers a space to slow down, reflect and share in collective comfort with neighbors who understand. Grief support resources are typically on hand, and the simple, moving ceremony reminds attendees that they are not alone. Dress warmly for the evening, come as you are, and take a quiet moment to remember, honor and connect during a tender time of year.
