Dear Friends,
One of the wonderful things about Hospice of Santa Barbara is that we are constantly surprised and inspired by those who cross our paths. Recently, we held our third annual fundraiser The Light Shines Ahead “virtually” for Compassionate Care of Carpinteria (CCC) and we all witnessed something (or should I say someone) quite remarkable. With humor, honesty, and warmth, our guest speaker Cynder Sinclair shared her personal journey of heartbreak and healing from grief, which truly transcended the digital boundaries that separated us. Her ability to reach deep into our hearts through her tears and laughter made us all feel as if we were all sitting directly across from her. What a generous gift to pull from personal painful memories of the loss of her husband and son in order to help the rest of us. She is also the author of My Wild & Precious Life: A memoir of Joy, Grief and Adventure which is full of personal insights and stories that feed the soul—one that chronicles her fascinating life journey. I highly recommend it. On behalf of all of us at Hospice of Santa Barbara, thank you Cynder for your generosity, courage, and uplifting spirit!

Be well,
David Selberg

Join Us For This Beloved Tradition!
The holiday season can stir up a range of emotions, including joy, stress, sadness, and everything in between. For those preparing to navigate the holiday season without cherished loved ones, this time of year can be even more difficult.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and our concern for everyone's safety, we will be gathering virtually!
Light Up A Life is an opportunity for all to join together as communities unite for one heartwarming virtual ceremony to remember and honor the many that are missed this holiday season. Last year’s virtual event, with our speakers, poetry, and music along with the digital stars hanging from the virtual Tree of Remembrance, was a moving tribute to our loved ones. We hope you will join us again!
