End of Life
One of the greatest hardships of life is to face the loss of a loved one. It’s a time when there are many emotions consuming your mind and heart. For many families, it is a time of stress and chaos, lives turned upside down and unraveled. Everyone deals with grief in different ways. The important thing is that no matter how you deal with loss, you are not alone.
We would like to get to know you, and your loved one, before the end. Our rector can provide pastoral counseling, and we can include you in specials prayers, either by name in the congregation or in private. During her visits to your home or care facility, Rev. Matthew Wahlgren can anoint your loved one with holy oils for healing or, in the case of pending death, special Ministrations at the Time of Death.
When the time is right, our rector will work closely with your family to plan a service that honors your loved one’s life and reflects the beautiful traditions of the Episcopal Church, as set forth in The Book of Common Prayer. We will pray with you, and seek to be a source of support for you throughout this time.
For those looking for a resting place for their loved one, St. Timothy’s Memorial Garden is a beautifully landscaped area situated among the trees on the church’s east lawn.
