Review for Healing Place-A Center For Grieving Children & Families, Muscle Shoals, AL, USA
My husband passed away in April of 2007 leaving me with 7 and 2 year old girls. About a month later my mom saw in the paper about a day camp for children who had lost loved ones so I called and signed them up. That was my first encounter with The Healing Place. We then began going to the group nights (my 2 year old started later when she turned 3). We attended regularly for over 4 years then went every few months for about another year. My girls loved going and I can say I strongly believe it is a major reason they do so well now. I will always be grateful for what they did for my girls and for me. While the kids are in group the adults get to also meet. I believe we gained strenth and comfort from the others that were going thru a death. Most of the time the situations were very different but we could still relate in so many ways. Mrs. Kaye is an awesome counselor and always had great materials and topics for discussion. Almost 7 years have now passed, I have now remarried and me and my girls are so blessed and doing wonderful with my new husband and step-daughter. I know I owe part of this sucess to The Healing Place. My girls and very considerate of others, especially friends and family that lose someone in there lives. I can see them one day working somewhere like The Healing Place. They can say to others you are not alone and things are going to be different but it can and will be ok.
