“I already know sorrow. Today I choose joy.”

“She who heals herself, heals others.”

“Sharing your story is a courageous step towards healing your own heart.”

“A good story invites us into someone else's world where we learn, discover commonalities, and leave with compassion and understanding.”

“Just as it is impossible to explain childbirth to a woman who has never given birth, it is impossible to explain child loss to a person who has never lost a child.”

“The bereaved need more than just the space to grieve the loss. They also need the space to grieve the transition.”

“Each of you are a voice. Together we are a choir, a powerful choir of change that circles the globe with love.”

“Hugs are nourishment for the heart.”

“It’s okay to cry. Giving in to the tears is terrifying,like freefalling to earth without a parachute. But it’s vital to our wellbeing as we process the deep anguish.”

“I carry your kindness wherever I go. That way your love touches far more than just me.”

“The power to heal is all in the hug.”
