Helping Your
Heart Through Grief
(Volumes I and II)
In these two color videos, Elaine Stillwell, bereaved parent, lecturer and writer, shares ideas from her own experience with bereaved families, to cope and survive the loss of a loved one and to lead a meaningful life. Speaking to bereaved audiences throughout the United States, she uses her unique gifts of caring and humor to offer hope and peace for the heart.
Founder of The Compassionate Friends of Rockville Centre, New York, ex-chapter leader, and former NYS Regional Coordinator, Elaine gives information that will ease grieving hearts, lift some unnecessary guilt, open new roads of thought, and offer a means of communication between family members who need a tool to share what is in their hearts; good for all ages and all losses. She shares what she has learned on her grief journey, after losing her two oldest children, twenty-one year old Denis and nineteen year old Peggy, killed in a car accident in 1986.
All proceeds go to her children’s
scholarship, The Peggy and Denis O’Connor Scholarship, established in their
memory at the University of Dayton.
