Healing our Hearts Through Art

GRIEF \'grēf\: A deep sadness or mental distress caused by a loss.


So very often our loss is that of a loved one, but know that grief can strike when there is a loss of money, job, trust/faith in someone, a relationship, security...In general, a loss of life as we knew it. 
There is no one size fits all manual for grieving , and all though there are helpful guidelines, know that the when, how, why, where, how long should be based on the individual's need. It is our belief that to know grief is to know life and because each of us will go through the process at last once in our lifetime, consider embracing grief, allowing the process to heal rather than control.
Our hope in creating this site is to enable you to express your feelings through an artistic venue. This does not mean that you need to be an artist.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: Create your symbolic (Grieving. Healing. Totally healed) heart using your choice of medium: watercolor, wood, fiber, acrylic, clay, etc., Take a photo and e-mail to ArtForTheGrievingHeart@gmail. com.
You may add, but it is NOT required, A title, your name, location, dedication, etc.

If you have any questions please contact us at this address.
