What Professionals Are Saying About Healing Hearts:

"This unique, non-competitive game offers grieving children the opportunity to explore their feelings and consider the challenges created by their loss while anticipating new beginnings.  Sharon Rugg has again given us a professional and valuable tool for working with bereaved children."

"I absolutely love and treasure Healing Hearts!  It's incredible!  It worked so beautifully with a child whose mother died a few weeks ago.  This child would never have opened up to me without this wonderful game.  The questions are provocative enough, but not intrusive.  It's perfect!"
