Maggie pours out of her heart how her faith, the spirit of Neil, the compassion of God and the warm, hardness of heart stones have led her to a recovered place. Heartifacts displays the confluence of faith, hope and love. Heartifacts challenges the often used phrase, “I need closure”. Maggie cannot close the door on a love so deep and complete. The Heartifacts journey shares how God chose to promote healing in the spirit of His child, Maggie Horgan.
Maggie has offered glimpses of the Heartifacts journey to hundreds of bereaved parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings as she has spoken on a number occasions at our twice annual memorial services here at our hospital. I have witnessed and many people have attested to the healing balm nestled in the Heartifacts narrative. I hope you will embrace the journey towards healing … a journey embodied in Heartifacts.
