Healing Hearts

Bereavement Program

Healing Hearts was created by grieving parents who needed a haven of love and comfort along with the hope of healing. While we acknowledge that our hearts will never heal after the loss of a child, we want our scars to remind us that we can experience joy alongside sadness. Together, we support each other in creating a life worth living, for and with our children.

Lori Krause is a life coach with a focus on grief as well as end of life. She is a hospice-trained grief facilitator for both adults and children and is an INELDA-trained End of Life Doula; with a deep passion for relationship building; open and honest communication; healing; loving; and caregiving.

<sub>Two 12 week sessions of Healing Hearts for Parents will begin in September on Sundays at 5:30 Pacific Time and Wednesdays at 7:00 Eastern Time and will run through December 17th.   Bereaved parents of OsteoAngels who are interested in joining the group should fill out a short form by clicking on the “Register for Healing Hearts” rectangle below. Please contact isabel@mibagents.org with any questions. Led by grief counselor Lori Krause, whose sessions are very popular in our OS community.

‍“Healing Hearts has been such a blessing to us. When my daughter passed I really wanted to connect with people that understood what I was going through and what we had been through. I had people suggesting that we go to a general grief therapy program and it just wasn’t what I wanted. When I learned that MIB was offering this program I knew I wanted to try it. Going through grief like this is a very lonely feeling and this group has helped me so much. ‍Lori is absolutely wonderful. The other parents in the group are all very supportive of each other and understand what you are going through. It’s also very helpful to hear how different people handle their own grief and in different stages as well. I’m so grateful for this group.” Laura, Because Of Cara
