What S4H Participants are Saying

Storybooks for Healing has only been offered in limited pilot programs but already has garnered significant praise from participants:

"Storybooks for Healing is an amazing program.  Storybooks for Healing was different than any program that I’ve seen and I really felt it helped me in dealing with the loss of my mom.  I am so excited to publish my storybook and share it with my family.  More specifically, I can’t wait to share my mom’s story with my future children so they can get to know their grammy!" –Eden

"Storybooks for Healing met my expectations in more ways than expected.  It made you think of your loved one in a different light. I am currently in a bereavement group and while I have come so far in my process, the group I am in does not focus on the positive memories and it seems everyone wants to talk about the actual death and not focus on the person. Storybooks for Healing has helped me deal with my loss of husband Joseph.  It focused on his life and helped preserve his memory for those who loved him.  I hope to share his story with everyone!" –Pam

"Storybooks for Healing has helped me more than my therapy sessions, more than the books I read, more than anything else I’ve tried.  This was by far the most helpful thing I’ve done to deal with my grief, and it has helped me IMMENSELY!" –Ellen

"The workbook sections were excellent.  It was some of the deepest work I have ever done." –Pete

"It was always interesting seeing where my imagination would go in the creative writing and art projects.  I enjoyed learning from the others about their experiences, and sharing mine with them."  –Elizabeth

What S4H Program Counselors are Saying

Storybooks for Healing is also enthusiastically embraced by the professionals conducting the program:

"As a grief counselor for the past six years... I have seen and used many grief journals, closed group curriculum, and activities for working through the many aspects of grief. What is missing is the celebration of life and focus on gratitude for the time we did have with the person. Your program and workbook provides this missing piece- a hopeful, life affirming way for bereaved individuals to remember and celebrate the life of the person who died. Storybooks for Healing is an effective and well designed program." –Michelle

"I want a program as successful as that!" –Charlotte

"I would describe (Storybooks For Healing) as a phenomenal tool for grievers to utilize. The storybook for healing program allows for unresolved grief issues to be worked on and brought out. This is a program for the griever that wants to move on and reclaim their life and continue to live. This program acknowledges sorrow and despair but encourages hope and joy! This program has allowed people to accomplish goals that they haven’t been able to accomplish in other groups." –Sheneka
