Community of Caring
The Healing Cycle Foundation believes that care for family and friends should be extended after the death of a loved one
and that some individuals may want outside help in dealing with their grief.

In an effort to assist those individuals through their process of grief, the Foundation is partnering with the
non-profit organization, Life Interrupted, which offers grief support work and educational seminars on grief and loss.
Life Interrupted is managed by Laurie Martin, CTS.
