Bereaved Parents
There Is No Greater Loss
Josephine Ghiringhelli is a bereaved parent, "there is no greater loss". She suffered the loss of her beloved son James Ghiringhelli on October 4th, 2009, he was just 21 years old. Josephine wanted to have a bereavement page to share with you a few organizations, one in particular, that helped her in the beginning stages of her horrendous loss and unspeakable pain. A mother, a parent never one hundred percent heals because a part of them is gone but knowing that they will be reunited on the other side one day is what a parent can take comfort in knowing that "Love Never Dies".
Josephine attended monthly meetings at Compassionate Friends (C.F.) for a year and also went to a Washington D.C .conference through C.F. where she attended workshops led by certified compassionate women and men who also suffered the loss of a child. This helped her greatly because without a word being uttered, everyone understood the pain each other was experiencing. This immediately created an atmosphere of safety and unconditional love.
It has been bittersweet, but also for Josephine, a privilege to be able to read for parents who have lost a child because it brings a sense of comfort that oftentimes cannot be found in any other way. The much needed validations and messages given at a sitting brings with it a sense of inner peace to a deeply broken heart.
Sharing Feelings of Loss
Josephine's personal experience of being read by John Edward, Psychic Medium, her long time friend, shortly after her son James passed gave her food for her soul to move forward in a way that she thought would never be possible. Together they made a 3 part series hoping to reach thousands of people to share in her journey of love, loss and grief.

Tribute to a Son.
It is Josephine's belief that everyone has their own way of grieving. There is no right or wrong way, whatever gets you through from day to day in as healthy a way as possible is the best we can ask for. This is a lifelong journey, a struggle of the heart. So, having information to help in any way possible is what her aim is for you. Below you will find some links that you can look into to see if they resonate with you or one that feels right and comfortable for you!

She wanted to make this video for others to know, see and feel that they are not alone with their feeling of loneliness, sadness, depression and sometimes despair. She feels aside from looking at your feelings in a clinical way that this is an avenue to look at this journey in a metaphysical and spiritual way that oftentimes medium’s have not experienced themselves. A Lot of the time, people don't want to talk about their experience, again everyone grieves differently. This video was made to share her inner most thoughts and feelings to let others know that what they are experiencing is not out of the ordinary.
