Diane Krieser | Heartfelt Memorial Awareness Tour | DSC Podcast
In this episode of the Discover Seward County Podcast, we are honored to partner with Heartfelt Children's Memorial of Seward, Nebraska, and meet one-on-one with Diane Krieser to discuss the journey that led her to create Heartfelt Connections. After the loss of her daughter Karina, Diane shares how the need for community support inspired a space where grieving families could remember their children, speak their names, and feel understood. That mission eventually grew into the Heartfelt Children’s Memorial, a place that stands as a symbol of remembrance, connection, and healing for families near and far
Throughout our conversation, Diane opens up about the realities of grief, the importance of honest dialogue, and how small acts of acknowledgment can mean everything to someone navigating loss. We talk about the meaning behind the memorial, the stories it holds, and the reminder that love does not end when life does. This episode is a somber one, but also a powerful conversation rooted in compassion, community, and the belief that remembering our loved ones keeps their presence alive in meaningful ways.
