I’m Amy Padbury.

I’m fundraising for Sunset Bridge Corporation.

Bethany Beach, and more specifically, Salt Pond in Bethany Beach Delaware, is a place where my family came together every summer to relax and make memories. My Dad was the best version of himself on those vacations and we truly connected. Losing my Dad to his battle with depression and ultimately suicide devastated our family. We miss him dearly as well as our times shared on Salt Pond. We grieve that there wasn’t more we could do to support him toward the end of his life. Since his passing, I have found fulfillment working in hospice and palliative care because it allows me to support families who are facing the loss of a  loved one. When I found out that there was an organization called the Sunset Bridge Corporation, building a retreat home for the terminally ill and their supporting family, right on the Salt Pond where I spent my summers, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to become involved. Please consider donating on March 5-6 to the Sunset Bridge Corporation, in memory of my dad, and in support of any family dealing with loss. Losing someone to any kind of terminal illness is extremely difficult, but I truly believe there can be beauty and peace in those final moments when given the right resources. I think Sunset Bridge retreat home will be such a gift to those facing end of life decisions.

At our SBC retreat home, loved ones will be surrounded by love, kindness, serenity, and comfort, during one of the most precious, yet stressful times of need. At no expense to the caregiving unit, SBC will provide a home-like setting including overnight lodging for 1 to 2 weeks, daily meals and supportive care, free of charge. During that time, loved ones will spend time together, receive educational support, materials and useful tools, as well as engage in open dialog. This will help everyone to understand various options in a supportive environment and to reach critical decisions within a peaceful atmosphere.  Additionally, SBC will offer the opportunity for the caregiving unit to return on-site for a respite stay, free of charge, after the passing of their loved one.
