How Does a Heart Heal?

Losing someone we love is one of the most difficult things we will ever have to do.

And even though it's something we will all experience, we tend to avoid the topic, which can leave us feeling bewildered and isolated on top of heartbroken and overwhelmed when it happens to us.

It also leaves friends and loved ones at a loss for what to say or how to support us as we are moving through it.

How Does a Heart Heal? is a little friend to help each other through the pain of loss. Like a first aid kit for a heart sized, lifetime wound.

How Does a Heart Heal?

  • Compassionate Support

    Reaching out to those we care about isn't always easy when we are hurting. It isn't easy for those who love us either - but it can lead to meaningful conversations, new bonds, happy memories and much needed laughter.

  • Nature is Healing

    Getting outside and breathing in some fresh air as we're able, feeling the wind in our hair, the sun on our face or even a flurry of snowflakes is a wonderful way to reset our nervous systems.

  • A Light in the Dark

    "How Does a Heart Heal?" came out of experiencing my own losses and was made with love. My hope is that it brings a bit of comfort to those who are grieving and perhaps helps them feel a little less alone.

This book offered us a truly transformative experience in our grief journey. We cried. We talked. And we felt just a little lighter after.

I read it twice and I keep picking it up.

It is such a great book. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I am sitting here crying thinking about how you 100% nailed it. I wish I had something like this when I lost my husband, parents and brothers. This will help so many people. The thing about grief is that it never goes away, we just learn to manage it better over time. It is such a great book. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I am sitting here crying...
