About Us
"When my teenage son Peter died, I tried to find a support group but struggled to find anything local. After lots of reading and research, I connected with a few parents who had experienced loss. It was such a comfort. This lead to the creation of Healing Hearts. A shortcut to resources that may help heal your broken heart. We also have our Facebook Group to connect over the death of a child and not feel so alone." -Victoria, Peter’s Mum.
Ki te kotahi te kakaho ka whati, Ki te kapuia e kore e whati
Alone we can be broken. Standing together, we are invincible.
