Transitions LifeCare - NC

Crafted by Carrboro sculptor Mike Roig, the Cosmic Post, located on our campus, is a functional sculpture that allows you to “mail” correspondence to your loved ones that no longer have an earthly address. The letter is then burned, creating tendrils of smoke, symbolizing a continued connection with your loved one and carrying the message to its intended recipient. 💌

If you would like to use the Cosmic Post, call 919.719.7199 or speak with your bereavement counselor. 💟

We wish you could smell the warm cookies through the screen… Such a special treat from our amazing volunteer team! 💜🍪🫖
