Heartfelt Haywood
LIVING, GRIEVING, AND DYING WELL
A community where no one dies alone, no one grieves alone, and caregivers are supported and valued.
Our Organization
Heartfelt Haywood believes that when we grieve well we become more resilient members of our community. By providing training for grief facilitators, responding to community crises with grief resources and trained, compassionate listeners, Heartfelt Haywood hopes to increase our community’s resilience in the face of grief and devastating loss. We aim to build our community’s capacity for compassion for people who are grieving, dying, and for the individuals and organizations who care for them.
“Haywood County is fortunate to have an organization emerging with this specific focus. As a local pastor, I’m delighted to know I can refer parishioners to well-run grief groups, book clubs and other programs. And I’m especially delighted by the children’s programming, as we haven’t had a community program dedicated for children’s grief for some time, if ever.”
— The Rev. Joslyn Ogden Schaefer, Rector, Grace Church
