​​🌿 What This Event Is​

This adaptation of The Christmas Tree Wish is a gentle remembrance experience created specifically for elders and seniors — including those living with grief, memory loss, life review, physical decline, or quiet loneliness.

• lives fully lived

​​🌲 Why This Story Works So Well for Seniors ​

Liam’s story mirrors what many elders already know, but may no longer hear spoken aloud:

• Loss does not erase meaning

• Being “cut down” is not the end of one’s value

• A life is not measured by productivity or usefulness

• Presence remains, even when roles fall away

​

Through the voice of Abner, the Father of Light, the story speaks directly to the deepest human questions:

​

Did my life matter?
Was I enough?
What continues now?

​

This story often resonates without explanation — especially for those nearing life’s later chapters. The story works even when words fade.

For families present with loved ones in hospice or memory care, this experience offers reassurance — a shared language of continuity, dignity, and peace.
