A Mother's Visualization of a Healing Heart

This young mother lovingly tore a healing heart and told us her story as she took a much needed break from the neonatal intensive care area where she spent most all of her time. A Child Life Support Specialist had told her she might enjoy the project. Her gratitude for the positive and creative visualization of a healing heart was powerful. Her piece is one of my favorite pieces. I worked with many mothers throughout this process, and I was amazed at how thankful they were. I thought the children would be the biggest beneficiaries of this program, but I was pleasantly surprised this was not necessarily the case.
