First Edition, Hospice team for fundraiser
NORWICH – Hospice and Palliative Care of Chenango County provides end-of-life services for terminally ill patients with less than six months to live. They offer a range of services, including support, pain management, at-home visits, and education. The organization also offers a variety of bereavement services for families after a loss. The Hospice organization does a lot for the community, and now one local store is trying to do something to help them.
For one week, beginning Oct. 16, First Edition Book Store will hold an event to benefit Hospice. Lisa Mody, owner of First Edition, has several titles in stock, requested by Hospice. If a customer purchases one of these books to donate to Hospice, they will receive 20 percent off the price of the book, and 20 percent off their own purchase as well. “Helping Hospice get more books is a great excuse to help people get a little extra discount on their purchase,” Mody said. Anyone who comes in before Oct. 16 to purchase a book for Hospice, will still get 20 percent off the Hospice title. The rest of the purchase will be at the regular rates.
Hospice Bereavement Coordinator Brenda Birdsall approached Mody about the event, after hearing about similar events in other areas. Many of the books were highly recommended through the Hospice web page, www.hospice.org. “There are a lot of good grief related books out there, especially for children and teens, but most would work for anybody,” Birdsall said.
The books range in price from $6 to $20. Birdsall hopes this event will encourage people to see the variety of bereavement books available. “Everyone has experienced some kind of loss. With the flooding, people have lost homes, property, possessions, and some of those things you can never get back,” Birdsall said. She thinks these books will help address the issue of death as well as other types of loss.
According to Birdsall, Hospice has chosen some old classics and some new classics. She recommends that parents always read the books before allowing their children to. “That way if [the children] have questions, you know where they are coming from,” Birdsall said. She explained that many of these books deal with aspects of religion that not everyone will be comfortable with.
The Hospice event will begin on Monday, Oct. 16 and run until Saturday, Oct. 21 at First Edition Book Store, 13 South Broad Street. Birdsall is hoping to receive 100 books throughout the week, but “we’ll be happy with whatever we get,” she said.
