Grief Podcast

A Father’s Love: Healing Through Heartache

Jameson’s father Dan and fellow grieving father Chris (Mason’s father) share the story of the loss of their sons, and the process of grieving their loss. This podcast is designed for people who have lost a loved one as well as anyone who wants to know how to more effectively walk alongside someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one.

The goal of this podcast is to help those who are grieving talk about their experiences and take steps to heal as well as to help those walking alongside people who are grieving understand ways to help.

Family Grief Retreat

Plans are in the works for a family grief retreat for families who have lost a child. We hope to have a retreat very soon to allow these families to spend time in solitude but also in the company of others who have experienced the same tragic loss of a child.

Mental Health/Grief Resources

Grief resources are abundant, and so very personal and individual. These are the resources that we have used that have been helpful in our loss.

Books

There have been many books published about grief. Each one tells a different story in a different style. Books are very individualized in their messages, but these are books that have helped the Courtine Family move forward in their grief. The books that tend to help the Courtine Family are generally written by parents who have lost a child and not therapists.
