Welcome to The Grieving Heart® For Hope and Support After Loss In Memory of My Parents When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall
see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
I created The Grieving Heart® for anyone who has lost a loved
one. Grief is personal and no one experiences it the same way. I try to address difficult topics with compassion and honesty.
Because of my own loss, some of the material focuses on the death of parents. I also use the pronoun 'we' because
it is a warmer way to write. The only grief I know, however, is my own.
I have read that when parents die we lose
the past, but when children die we lose the future. I do not write about the death of children on this site because I do not
have children. Please visit the links below for grief support after the death of a child:
This is a big site and the information can be overwhelming at first, especially if your
grief is new. The easiest way to get acquainted with its contents is to begin on the next page: What will I find here? Because
we are all part of the human family, something here may ring true with you and help ease the way, if only for a moment. Take
what is yours to take from The Grieving Heart® and know that I wish you unexpected comfort through all the seasons of
your grief.
Peace to you,
Christine Jette
