How to Grieve: Pain, Gratitude, & Peace
by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore
“We are not either happy or sad. We are not either grieving or grateful. We are not either content or despairing. We are both/and.
In early grief, it is hard if not impossible to imagine ever being happy again, and yet, slowly, moments in touch with joy accrue by seconds and minutes and, later, hours or even days of contentment. Gradually, we regain the capacity to feel joyful, and we feel this in the same space as grieving.”

Mosaic Hearts
Families have the opportunity to honor their baby or child in the form of a Mosaic Heart. These glass mosaic hearts are displayed at the Center for Hope in the west facing window. Each heart will be displayed for an entire year and is completely customizable. 3Hopeful Hearts provides the materials, the heart making class, and name plaque.
