Poetry and medicine

Our primary audience is anyone in need, anyone who has at one time or another encountered illness, either as a caregiver, a patient, a friend, or a family member. Health care professionals, who may have never considered poetry, will hear -and see demonstrated- the power of language when communicating with patients and their families.

We believe Healing Words can introduce a new way of caring for self and others, one that costs nothing but attention. http://www.poetryandmedicine.com/

Journey of hearts

An online healing place for anyone grieving a loss

Grief is a tidal wave that over takes you,

smashes down upon you with unimaginable force,

sweeps you up into its darkness,

where you tumble and crash against unidentifiable surfaces,

only to be thrown out on an unknown beach, bruised, reshaped...

Grief will make a new person out of you,

if it doesn't kill you in the making.
