G: Welcome to Healing the Grieving Heart, the show that takes on the difficult topic of healing after the death of a child. My guests and I are here weekly to say even after a devastating death of a child, all is possible. You and your family and your partner can survive, even thrive. Today our topic is Keeping Your Marriage Strong After the Death of a Child. We know that divorce is a conclusion to almost half of marriages today. This statistic burdens couples not only with the suggestion, but with the expectation, that they will fail. Yet the keystone virtue and tenacity and success is hope. Hope that we will make it. Rather than including yourself in the 50% whose marriages fall apart, why not say, ?We?ll be the ones that make it?the exception to the rule.? There is a belief out there that couples who have children die are at higher risk Read more

G: Hello. I?m Dr. Gloria Horsley. Welcome to Healing the Grieving Heart. Today?s topic is Grandparents Dealing with Grief. I?ll have to admit that I?ve had to do a lot of soul searching regarding this topic. When I think back 22 years, I?ll have to say in the depths of my grief, my parents were not a priority for me. Our 17-year-old son, Scott, had died and my father had had a stroke and my mother was exhausted from taking care of him. You know, in fact, I didn?t call my mother and tell her immediately when my son was killed, and a doctor who was a shirt-tail relative called her and said I guess you heard that your grandson was killed. When she expressed shock and dismay, the doctor hung up. I knew I should have called my parents but, you know, calling my parents or my siblings made it just all too real for me and too Read more

G: Welcome to Healing the Grieving Heart. I?m your host Dr. Gloria Horsley. Healing the Grieving Heart is dedicated to those who are struggling through their days without the presence of that special child. Our topic today is: Suicide Changes Hearts. I am a bereaved parent and a psychotherapist; however, I don?t claim to be an expert on the topic of suicide. It has long been my belief that it matters not whether a child dies of a long-term illness, sudden accident, murder, overdose, or by their own hand in a bout of depression or mental confusion. We will miss them and hold them in our hearts endlessly and forever. For whatever reason or action, our children have left our lives and will never return. As parents and siblings, we all ask ourselves, why did this have to happen? Why must we suffer so? What could we have done to have made it different? These are universal questions. No matter the cause or events surrounding our child?s death, the fact is they are Read more
