Morgan's 35th Anniversary Gift
Oceanic Galaxy by Morgan Boisson, 8 years old/Morgan and his sister Alix in Martinique

The day before our 35th Wedding Anniversary, on March 12th, Cyril was busy organizing his office. It was a gloomy Saturday, with dark grey skies culminating in a sudden downpour with lightning and thunder that lasted about 30 minutes. Cyril and I were in a funk about the weather, deciding how to celebrate our forthcoming, significant anniversary date. 

Suddenly, Cyril called out to me and hurried from his office, holding a beautiful work by Morgan that he had just pulled out of a storage drawer. It had lain hidden for almost 27 years. Morgan completed this unique pen and crayon work the year we moved from France to the United States. The drawing is colorful, uplifting, and beautiful; it seems precisely drawn and shaded for an eight-year-old. Moreover, the land, sea creatures, stars, and planets appear to be smiling. My dear friend Lisa Wilcoxson pointed out that the brightly-colored animals give the impression of swirling in a Fibonacci Circle. This complex work was further proof that Morgan was old before his time. What a fantastic gift Morgan gave to us that day.

Sign or Coincidence? by Rick Olsen
Beth and Rick Olsen

Signs or Coincidence?

How do I know if it is real? That is a question that we often hear. Is what I am seeing, feeling, sensing, or hearing real or am I just making it up? The signs that our loved ones that have crossed over send us can be subtle. We often wish for a bright flashing neon sign that says “I’m alright” to show up but that isn’t the case. Because these signs are subtle, we may miss them or just pass them off as a coincidence. To us it comes down to a matter of mindset and belief. The signs are either real or they are not.

Validation Stories from Parents Just Like Us:
Beth Short and Tammy Brooks' Validation through Lisa Wilcoxson
Lisa Wilcoxson, Gavin Short and Drake Brooks

Lisa Wilcoxson Healing Messages from Two College Friends

During Lisa's reading on 2/28/23, she had two young men that came through together. We believe these young men were our boys Gavin and Drake. Gavin was 19 - Drake was 22 when they passed April 29, 2022. They were recent classmates and friends. Given their age difference, they ran with different circles of friends, but came together in the Spring of 2022 when they started having classes together. As Lisa indicated, their circles overlapped. They were such new friends that we only have two photos of them together. They were more interested in taking photos of the sky or creating memes for each other.

Mary-Anne Wills' Validation from her daughter through Lisa Wilcoxson
Lisa Wilcoxson, Sayuri Bubbs

Sayuri Bubbs came through in a group reading last week with Lisa Wilcoxson, it was so very amazing.  I didn’t expect it, just thought ill listen to the readings, and lo and behold, she came through first!!  

Lisa said, “ I see a young girl, gorgeous, with a gardenia on her head, she’s coming through kind of dancing, her hair is done up and her Mom is definitely here and she has a picture of her daughter with the gardenia on her head around 15, and I was so so shocked as I have this EXACT picture on a table across from my bed and I look at it every day!!  Sayuri Bubbs, around 15, smiling, gorgeous, with her hair done up and a gardenia on her head!!!! OMG this was the best reading I have ever had so far, and it was so so true!!

Jayne Cox's Validation Story with Suzanne Giesemann 
Suzanne Giesemann and Tony
 
In December I was blessed with a reading from Suzanne Giesemann. It seems my son, Tony, can really connect with her left-brained, military persona as his Dad is a retired Marine Officer. My son crossed the veil July 25, 2022, and there are no words to describe my gratitude to Suzanne for this wonderful reading and Christmas gift!

There were so many things she was spot on about, but here are just a few highlights.
Suzanne said he was intentionally placing heart shaped stones in my path. Well, just a few days before this reading I had received from a friend 3 beautiful heart shaped stones. My friend said she didn’t know why she bought them, but something told her when she was checking out at a gift shop to buy them for me!

Sent with much love,

Kim Basher's Validation through Suzanne Giesemann

I had the most FANTASTIC reading with Suzanne Giesemann on Dec 31.  The accuracy and sheer number of items mentioned was astonishing. Several golden nuggets, and many many validations confirmed that my loved ones are TRULY by my side. This gift gave me so much peace and healing.

Deborah Connor's Validation from her son Jimi through Lisa Wilcoxson 
Jesus, Deborah and Jimi, Lisa Wilcoxson

Lisa had an amazing connection with my son on Feb 28th and everything she related was accurate!  She described him as a hippy, which he called himself with his long hair and mindset.  I’m pretty sure I snorted when he told her he looks like Jesus because we always joked about that and I created an AI photo of a male angel with long hair and it looks like my son as Jesus, which is what made me laugh!  He mentioned helping me find some stones or something in my path. I had lost my memorial ring and crystal hearts on a hike and he helped me find them. She mentioned sugar skulls, well I bought two crystal skulls in Arizona months ago and just unwrapped them for his shelf 2 days before. And I’ve been having candy cravings lately, bought a bunch of his favorite gummies and he showed her a Hershey bar, which is my favorite.

Gertie Heck's validation through Kat Baillie
Joel, his Uncle Mike and Kat Baillie

It was just so amazing that my son came through especially with my brother who always says he is busy.  He said that when here was here physically too!  My son Joel, normally tells me on the zoom readings that other parents need to hear from their children but to listen because there are messages for me in them, so I had kinda given up on him coming through so this was a much needed surprise!

Rick Wilcoxson's validation from Michael through Kat Baillie
Lisa and Rick Wilcoxson at a Cards game, Michael, Kat Baillie, Yin-Yang Cardboard Cutout

I joined the already in progress, Helping Fathers Heal Zoom. in February.

Kat Baillie had the floor and with closed eyes, was “blending with spirit”, offering instructions and recommendations for healing and enhancing spirituality.

She then interjected a comment to one of  men in the audience, a recognition that someone in the group was dealing with pain in their foot—their right foot—a joint in the right toe. With each refinement I acknowledged that I fit the description. She could be referring to me. My big right toe has had a flare up of painful gout, but I thought others in the audience might qualify too. She and I returned to her broad message from spirit.

Shaunna Menard's validations from her son, Jordan, through Arlene MainsJordan and Shaunna, Jordan and his fur baby, Arlene Mains

Arlene Mains may have had a poor internet connection at the Mar. 16 HPH gallery reading, but her connection to my son in spirit was crystal clear, strong and spot on! Thank you! ❤️ Wow! 

On 2.20.2022 at 20:00, my son Jordan transitioned at the age of 20. He led me to Suzanne Giesemann which led me to HPH. I am so grateful for all of the evidence that our kids are still right here.

Yelena Galinsky's Validation from her son Igor through Pauline Mason
Igor and Yelena, Pauline Mason

It was still earlier in a day because of a time difference with the UK… I was in one of my multiple meetings when someone gently slapped me on the shoulder, or at least it felt that way. I was in the middle of a discussion, I looked on my phone and it hit me. Omg! Zoom meeting with Pauline Mason was already going for about 15 minutes and I was waiting for it for such a long time! I immediately excused myself and stormed out.

Today at the March 7th meeting with Pauline my Brother Paul came through! Pauline mentioned truck driving and stomach issue. And the name "Dan." Everything was spot on and Daniel just passed a week ago and we were all praying for him. She confirmed my brothers happy demeanor and I knew it was him. Thank you for all you do and thank you to Pauline! I needed that message! He just passed in August. This group is the best! Love heals all!

Karen S's validation from her son Morris, through Stacey Lynn Cripps
Morris, Stacey Lynn Cripps

I just want to thank Stacey Cripps for the reading she did for me through Helping Parents Heal/ Australia.

I am so thrilled that my son Morris reached out in her meditation and then connected in the reading. I felt like he was piggybacking also with the first Mum as there were many similar validations and then of course he shared his reading with another boy because he always helped others and shared. What I find truly amazing is that he distinguished himself from the other boy with his accent to show me that he was truly reaching out. Then Steve Irwin popped in and it made sense. He would absolutely love hanging out with him.

Evolved Souls Don’t Need Long Earthly Experiences 
April 2023

To all family members, I am very sorry about the death of your child’s human form.  However, I’m glad you are learning that – except for the earthly body – he or she is alive, happy, peaceful, and wants you to be the same.  I'm also happy that you are learning how to heal and transform despite this seeming tragedy.  Six key understandings to making that shift are:

Our Newest Caring Listener - Linda O'Neill!
My name is Linda O’Neill and I am the mother of two wonderful sons Thomas and David. In February 2021 my youngest son David who was 28 years old, passed by suicide. This sudden and life changing event, made me question everything about life and plunged me into a very dark place emotionally. 

I have spent the last two years, trying to work through my grief by accessing counseling, holistic therapies and developing my spirituality. I have developed a very strong connection with my son David and I feel his presence on a daily basis. He sends me so many signs and synchronicities, guiding me to the right people and situations. 
I am a retired Social Worker, who worked with children, young people and families for many years. I am a Certified Grief Educator, Reiki Master and also have qualifications in life coaching and stress management.

Out of this immense pain has emerged the motivation and passion, to reach out to help other parents and help them to navigate their own healing journeys. Becoming a Caring Listener for HPH means so much to me and I am very grateful to be part of such an amazing team. 

Linda lives in the UK

Helping Fathers Heal with Fara Gibson at LC Classics on March 12th!Fara Gibson (center) with Mike Danke of LC Classics, Cyril Boisson, Ernie Jackson, Joe Colucci, Jeff Hollahan, Fran Alexis, Rick Wilcoxson and the Dads of HPH - AZ

On March 12th, the Dads of Helping Parents Heal received a very special treat.  Not only were they able to meet at LC Classics in Tempe, which specializes in custom Corvettes, but they also were able to spend time receiving readings from a very special surprise guest; Fara Gibson

Rick Wilcoxson wrote about this uplifting experience: 

Early Sunday morning, I walked into the back yard and could sense spring in the air. The sun glistened through the spray of the sprinklers and sparkled on the welcoming grass. The air was cool with a slight breeze carrying sweet fragrances from multiple blooms around the yard.

I told Lisa, then the guys later, that the air was so crisp and fresh that I just wanted to close my eyes and breath in as much as I could. I did so, one after another.

NEW CO-AFFILIATE LEADER! Helping Parents Heal - Parents of Children with Special Needs, welcomes Craig Nelson
Lisa Wilcoxson and Craig Nelson

Craig Nelson:
I am Craig and I am the proud father of a child named Alex. I am here because the universe chose me for a special journey. A journey that allowed me to experience expressions of love on a higher level. I say higher for multiple reasons. One reason is because my son transcended to a higher place at the age of 16. My loss, so I thought, forced me upwards as my heart longed to be with him. However, he quickly showed me that our journey did not end here. Since his trancendance, I have felt him guiding me back to him and ultimately my true self.

The journey with him has been leading me down some paths that has offered me a wider and higher perspective on this life. Soon after my son transitioned he showed me some tools to help me with this process. The process of awakening to a higher place. This is just one reason I say I am a journey to a higher love. My son has been the one guiding me for sometime. He came into my life through an international adoption. My partner and I adopted him from Ukraine when he was only 6 months old. At the age of two we were told he was a classic case of autism. This was a very unique experience because my son was literally my baby until the day he transcended. That was at the age of 16. His transition forced me into a transition. My heart was shattered as he was truly my everything. I found my souls purpose through him and the day he left made me feel lost as if I no longer had a purpose. However, I have since found my purpose again and it still involves my son. I am honored to be a part of this group. I have always had the heart of wanting to lift the spirits of others. I know my son, our children are still here with us and as we all work together we can open these doors. The doors that lead us into a new way of thinking. As we expand our minds with our most beloved one by our side we create beautiful waves of energy. These waves are reshaping the face of the universe or the force we all call out to, as the highest force of love.

Lisa and Craig will hold their Zoom meetings from 5:30 - 8:30 pm AZ time on the second Monday of the month.

NEW GROUP! Helping Parents Heal - Columbus with Carol Kauffman!
Carol Kauffman


Hello, my name is Carol Kauffman, mother to two beautiful adult children - one still with us on Earth and one who transitioned in May, 2020. My son, David Kyle, forever 40, had always lived fully and enthusiastically but had challenges which made his earthly journey often difficult for him. But his gregarious, loving, and hilarious personality surfaced after he passed, and he began sending me, his girlfriend, his father, his sister, and others amazing signs and synchronicities. I began researching everything I could get my hands on about the afterlife, after death communications, and the scientific studies strongly indicating that consciousness does not die.

Needless to say, this information plus experiencing first hand the messages from my son convinced me what I think we “Earth spirits" have known deep down all along - we are eternal! Love conquers all! And we will see our beloved children again. My life has been changed in profound ways, and I am humbled and grateful to be able to share my story with others whose children have transitioned in hopes that they, too, may become shining light parents.

NEW GROUP!  Helping Parents Heal - Western North Carolina with Kelley Worth!
Kelley Worth


Kelley is a classically trained mental health clinician. She practiced for 20 years in various group practices, inpatient and outpatient programs. She offered support and healing to families and adolescents in individual sessions and group work. When she and her husband were blessed with a child, she retired. They moved to North Carolina to live a more sustainable lifestyle and Kelley chose to be a stay at home mom.  Rob and Kelley had 16 years of love, life and adventures with their daughter ~ Aleia Jade. In May of 2022, Aleia transitioned herself to seek relief from PTSD and depression.  In the wake of the pain of their only child, their vibrant daughter leaving, she started searching for answers about “what happens next?”  In that journey she was led to find Suzanne Geisemann and her work, which lead to finding Helping Parents Heal. This is where her healing began.  Learning to live in her grief and learning to strengthen her soul connection to her beautiful daughter.  It is the continuing support and proof that HPH offers that led me to want to start a group in our area.

NEW GROUP! Helping Parents Heal - Northern Louisiana with Candi Henley
Candi Henley 


My name is Candi Henley. I have two boys. My youngest son James transitioned to spirit on April 3, 2021, at 22 via suicide. I have always known that there was an afterlife but, I had no reason to explore this belief until James transitioned. James started sending me unbelievable signs almost immediately after he transitioned. I really thought I was going crazy. I mentioned these signs that James was sending me to an online Suicide Support group and another mother pointed me in the direction of the Helping Parents Heal group. I have learned so much from this group and I feel that this group has helped me heal. I am a Registered Nurse and I have always loved helping others. I can't wait to help other parents move forward in this journey.

Helping Parents Heal - Healing Workshop with LeAnn Hull & Sophia Mecum on March 8th!
Sophia and LeAnn lead a Healing Workshop at the home of Gina Zoulek


Healing Workshop  
We had our Cave Creek affiliate meeting on March 8th at Gina’s house instead of Carol’s. It was the first time that we gathered in a workshop format. Sophia Mecum and I will be leading the group offering a variety of questions designed to help us all move forward in our journey after our kids have moved to Heaven. After an initial introduction of ourselves and how the evening would be laid out, we broke out into small groups with a limited time frame to allow each person the opportunity to answer a specific question. We then cam back together in the large group and briefly shared anything that resonated with us. We did this twice during our meeting and limited the entire meeting time to 90 minutes!      

The feedback at the end was quite positive and everybody said that they look forward to the next workshops every other month.

Please join David and Allison Alison of the Helping Parents Heal Online Meditation Group, every third Wednesday of the month at 9 pm EST!  Allison and David are the parents of three amazing adult children: Jocelyn, Davey and Julia. Davey transitioned on July 20, 2016; he was involved in a solo car accident at the age of 24. This is documented along with their journey in David’s book Finding Davey. We felt Davey right away and knew he was not gone. We found out about HPH and it has helped us heal and connect with other patents. We enjoy talking about the signs we get from Davey and hearing about other parents’ experiences. Being a “Shining Light Parent” has helped us find meaning. Now with the HPH Meditation group, we would like to help others through positive energy and love with the help of our children on the other side.  Please click

Mission of Helping Parents Heal: Our mission is to help parents who have had children pass, giving them support and resources to aid in the healing process. We will go a step beyond other groups by allowing the open discussion of spiritual experiences and evidence for the Afterlife in a non-dogmatic way. In other words, we will welcome everyone regardless of their religious (or non-religious) background and allow for a very open type of dialog. We receive all and do not judge people or their children on the basis of life choices. -Mark Ireland, Cofounder, Helping Parents Heal

THE WISDOM OF GREGWritten by Susan Van Oije with Bill and Greg

Bill is just an ordinary guy who has had extraordinary things happen to him since the passing of his son Greg. Susan writes it all down. The Calgary, Canada affiliate leaders are on an amazing journey with their son. 

THE MUSIC AND THE MICROPLANE
Several months after our son Greg passed, we received a sign from him that was such an intense experience and filled with such meaning and love that I have to say it's one of my favorites. That's saying a lot, because I have now written down over 2,100 signs from our son in the 8 1/2 years since he left this Earth.

Please learn more about Greg by clicking here.

Spreading Sunshine by LeAnn Hull
Andy Hull

I AM Andy’s Mom  

As I was walking into the gym, one of Andy’s 16-year-old classmates came running up to me and exclaimed…. “You’re Andy’s mom!” Taken back for a moment, I responded, “Yes I AM Andy’s mom!” We chit chatted for a moment and then she went bouncing on into her workout class. I stood still for a bit processing what had just happened and allowed the tears of joy and sorrow flow down my cheeks.
