Hayden’s House of Healing

Mission

To provide a safe, tranquil space for bereaved mothers, fathers, couples, children and families to heal and connect together through a variety of methods and activities offered to assist in the healing process.

The Inspiration

Losing a child is the most gut-wrenching, excruciating and agonizing pain one should ever have to endure. It rips out your insides and pulls apart your heart - leaving bereaved parents wondering if they will ever heal, if they will ever stop crying, if the pain will ever cease, and if they will ever feel happiness or a sense of belonging again in this life.

For three years after Hayden’s death I didn’t know who I was anymore. Where I fit in. I felt like I didn’t belong on this earth. Nothing made sense. No one understood me.  I felt lost and confused and alone. 

And then it happened. I was inspired by a retreat in Canada for bereaved mothers held by Landon’s Legacy and knew this was my next mission through Hayden’s Heart. Within two months, ‘Healing of the Heart’ - a retreat for mamas of heart angels- was formed. In October of 2015 I, along with 23 other grieving heart mamas, came together to heal, connect, and bond on levels only other mourning mothers can. Read more on the website.

“The 4 days I was at the retreat were more healing than the 5 months I spent in intense therapy. The understanding, compassion, and overflowing love helped my heart to feel peace for the first time in 2 years. Hayden’s House proved instrumental in my healing. I found a group of women who understand and accepted me just as I am.”
