"From Mourning to Mending" ™ - Home

We wish you health and healing in 2013!

It is our sincere hope and prayer that 2013 will be a year of healing and finding new ways to honor your loved one.

It is my belief that every day that we live - we can make our loved ones' life still have meaning by the good things we do in their honor.

Please visit our Blog and share what you plan to do this year to honor a departed loved one. We can all benefit from the suggestions of others, together we find new and better ways to cope with our loss.

Looking forward to hearing from YOU!

People everywhere are hurting from grief and loss. Most do not have any idea how to deal with the losses that they have suffered. Many try to push on, as if nothing has happened.

Others turn to maladaptive (self-destructive) behaviors such as misusing medication, drinking alcohol to excess or taking drugs in an attempt to escape the pain they feel.

Still others bury their hurt, anger and grief inside themselves – only to have it resurface at another time, usually in another form, such as a physical illness or even an emotional / mental illness.

It is our hope that the information and ideas we give you here will empower you to take action for yourself. We hope to help you to understand the Grief Process and to offer suggestions on ways of dealing with grief.
