The group has knitted 100 hearts for patients in Shropshire hospitals.
A knitting group has been bringing comfort to people receiving end-of-life care in Shropshire hospitals.
The Kushdil ladies knitting group in Hadley made 100 knitted hearts, which were given in pairs to people receiving palliative and end of life care at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust . One heart is gifted to the patient, while a matching one is given to a loved one, with the aim of helping them feel connected.
"One lady said she put it under her pillow every night to feel close to her husband," said end of life specialist care nurse Debbie Snooke.The kindness hearts were first given out during the pandemic, when many families could not see their sick relatives. "We now gift the extended family a kindness heart, this provides comfort for them at that point and in the future," said Ms Snooke."The grandparent told us it was a beautiful connection between the baby and her grandfather who was receiving end of life care.""Kushdil means happy hearts, so it feels really special to have made these and to pass on something that can make somebody happy even in the last moments of their life.
