Clockwise from top left: Morgan with his two sisters, Christine and Alix, Daisy Mae Moore, Morgan's Dragon, Elizabeth and Bisou the Cockatiel

I was grateful to receive many ‘piggyback’ validations from my son Morgan on June 20th when Daisy Mae Moore did a Gallery Reading for Helping Parents Heal. It happened toward the end of the meeting when we were about to we were about to wrap up and say goodbye. 

Daisy saw a dragon and wanted to know if anyone identified with a fire-breathing dragon. The night before, I had posted a picture on Instagram of the dragon in our front yard that my husband gave me for my birthday a few years earlier in honor of Morgan. He was born in 1988, the Chinese Year of the Dragon, and his room was filled items from China, notably dragons.  Please continue reading about Daisy and Morgan by clicking

Mary Beth Creighton's Validation from Zachary through Beth Lynch
Zachary and Bandit, Beth Lynch

Beth Lynch is a beacon of light in a world that needs spiritual growth. I had the opportunity to have a session with Beth a few months ago. She used her intuitive gifts with love and empathy to connect with my son Zach in spirit. Through her connection with Divine intelligence, she delivered healing messages from my son, channeling his personality and love for his family.  Please read more from Mary Beth by clicking here.

Benjamin, Alaine Portner

Of course my son Benjamin would come through The Happy Medium, Alaine Portner! He lived his life to bring Joy to others!

Shannon Thackeray-Miller's Validation with Cole through Fara Gibson
Cole, Fara Gibson

My husband, son, daughter and myself had a reading with Fara Gibson Thursday June 22, 2023. I have so many positive things to say, I don’t even know where to begin. I will try to keep this short. Fara is amazing in what she does, she has a gift from God being able to connect us with our son, brother we lost 2 years and a bit ago.  Please keep reading about Cole and Fara by clicking here.

Kim Hix's Validation from her daughter Kelsie through Beth Lynch
Kelsie, Fara Gibson

I  had a wonderful reading with Beth Lynch, she was awesome! Right off the bat she said “I’m seeing the word Mom” I told her nothing about me. And she asked if i had a child in spirit, which I do. She got so many things spot on. I had been talking to my daughter and told her 3 words to tell Beth, Lilah, book, sunflower, and Beth mentioned Sunflower and book that Kelsie told her ‼️ Beth was so sweet and informative. Well worth the money. It seems another child in spirit was with my girl and I wanted to mention it in case anyone recognized the description to let you know your child is good. 

It was a young male, late teens or early 20’s, mentioned The Berkley School of Music and a trombone

Jessica Smart's Validation from her friend Colette and her son Isreal through Lisa Morrison
Collette, Israel 's two-finger salute, Lisa Morrison

When I was listening to Lisa Morrison speak, I initially wasn't paying full attention because I have a son in spirit and she was talking about a woman. The more she described this woman, the more it sounded exactly like my friend Collette. I was like wow! What are the odds. When nobody else could take any of what Lisa was saying, I said I could take it all and it was decided that we would continue the reading to see what she had to say😃 Learn more about Collette and Israel by clicking here.

Linnea Dancing, Melissa and Linnea, Lisa Morrison

My daughter Linnea came through to Medium Lisa Morrison on June 27th. It wasn’t just an amazing reading for me, it helped my daughters fiancé tremendously, as well, as he suffers too ❗️ He just had a birthday, and posted , My one birthday wish, dancing in the sky (Linnea).

I have been asking her, what are you doing on the other-side, honey?  We both got a wish and a question answered from Lisa ❣️ she’s dancing, she’s ok, and without any pain.

Trish Phelps' Validation with her son Jesse through Medium Britta
Jesse, Medium Britta

I want to tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing for people like me who are facing their worst nightmare with the loss of a child.  I had no idea anything could be as painful as this, and since it is not something that ever goes away, I am finding it unbearable. 

I listened to
Medium Britta connecting parents with their lost children through a Helping Parents Heal video, and that has been a big turning point for me.  Please read more about Jess and Britta by clicking here.

Evolved Souls Don’t Need Long Earthly Experiences 
August 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:

Meet Ping Qi, Our Newest Caring Listener who speaks Mandarin Chinese! 
Ping Qi

Ping Qi, aka Sunny Luna on Facebook, has lived in the US for 32 years but is originally from China and speaks Mandarin Chinese. We are grateful that she has joined us!

More about Ping:
My family and I moved from our native homeland of China 32 years ago. Our son John grew up to be a talented young doctor and practiced medicine until his transition in 2018. John was everything to me and his passing was like the end of my world!

It has now been five years since my son’s transition. The signs John has sent us have been unbelievably amazing! I’m not sure I could have survived without recognizing that these signs were coming from my son. Helping Parents Heal, along with Suzanne Giesemann, have helped my husband and I realize that our son is not gone, but in fact is still with us. This changed my life!
Now it is my turn to help others. I would like to listen to other moms and share the path that has helped me. I speak English, but Mandarin in my preferred language.

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. 

A PILGRIMAGE FOR GREG
In September of 2014, Bill and I were booked to go on a Mediterranean cruise that we had been planning for over a year. Two weeks before we were set to leave, our 27-year-old son Greg left this Earth. 

I couldn't imagine how we would be able to go ahead with the trip, but Greg had other plans. He sent us on a journey full of incredible signs, synchronicities and miracles. 

Bill had discovered that he could hear his son talk to him, and two days after Greg passed, Bill heard Greg say in his head, "Grab my passport and give it to Mom so she can bring it along and I can come with you."   Please click

Spreading Sunshine by LeAnn Hull
Clay, Andy and LeAnn Hull

Permission to Dream Again
Early on in our marriage, my husband and I created a beautiful dream board with all the places that we wanted to travel to as well as the home we wanted to build for our future family. We even taped pictures on the bathroom mirrors and refrigerator. We were so hopeful about our life together, but we knew that we had to be intentional as well. Dreaming is great but without actions to make those dreams become a reality, that’s all they are, dreams. Please read more from Leann by clicking here.

LeAnn is the author of

I was devastated and heartbroken, living my worst nightmare ever. I reached out to another angel mom Carol Allen, who introduced me to Helping Parents heal, I found support through other angel moms and I would like to offer new, and continued hope to parents on this journey with me. I will be holding monthly Hopeful Happy Hours at my home for us to socialize and engage in life’s new journey after the passing of our children. All our welcome, I hope to show all that it is possible to smile, live life and enjoy each others' company knowing that our children in spirit are with us, every step of the way.

NEW AFFILIATE GROUP! Helping Parents Heal - Las Vegas!
Jayme Sears Phillips and her son Devin


Please join me in welcoming our newest Affiliate Leader, Jayme Sears Phillips! She will be leading an Affiliate Group in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are truly grateful to her and to her son Devin, who led her to HPH.

Please read more about Jayme:
I am the mother of 4 amazing young men, ages 20-28. My second oldest son, Devin, decided to move to heaven on September 27, 2021 at the age of 24. Devin’s sudden and unexpected passing rocked our family’s world and shattered this momma’s heart in a million pieces. In those early painful days, it was Devin who gently guided me to find Helping Parents Heal’s Facebook page, which has been an amazing ongoing source of love and support. The group’s many resources has helped me to expand my awareness of spirit and helped me learn how to continue my relationship with my son in spirit form. Now, after having been on this journey for almost 2 years, I am ready to help organize the first Las Vegas Chapter of Helping Parents Heal, and bring together all the parents in this area who have lost a child, to help provide a source of support and connection along this journey. Together I know we can help each other heal and find joy again!
We will use the month of August to begin connecting on our Facebook page and then have our first in-person meeting in September, location TBA.

NEW CO-AFFILIATE LEADERS Helping Parents Heal - Houston!
Mary Dooley, Pamela Hidinger and Deb Neubeck


The Houston HPH Team is now complete. Here they are! We are so grateful to all of them. 🙂

Mary Dooley:
My name is Mary Dooley. I live in Houston Texas with my husband, Boxer dogs and horse. I have two children, Lea in spirit and my son Devan. My daughter Lea 32, transitioned in 2020 from sepsis and colon cancer. I immediately felt her presence and my search began. I feel like I stumbled onto HPH but now I truly believe Lea guided me. I know many of us shining light parents say the same. HPH gave me the support, care and comfort I needed. My spirituality blossomed and so did my soul which helped me heal. Lea was full of gratitude and that is how I strive to live my life everyday. I hope I can be of service to other parents through HPH the way it helped me.

Pamela Hidinger:
I am a mother of three beautiful girls. My oldest, Michelle “Emjay” transitioned on February 28, 2018 at the age of 20. Before my Michelle crossed to the other side, I didn’t put much thought into the afterlife or spiritualism, but her passing started me on a spiritual journey and guided me to Helping Parents Heal. Michelle has made it very clear to me that she is still here and we have work to do together, including meeting other shining light parents and their shining lights so that we may all continue the relationships in love.

Deb Neubek:
A proud mom of two sons, my oldest, Dean, took himself Home in September 2020 at the age of 24. Just hours after he transitioned, he made sure that we knew he was whole and happy on the other side through incredible signs and synchronicities. Although I worked at NASA for over 30 years, I have always been open to and supportive of the concept that life is more than what we experience in our material world. When Helping Parents Heal was suggested to me, I immediately knew I had found a home of like-minded souls who could help me to become a shining light parent who doesn’t just survive their child’s passing but thrives. The amazing people, incredible resources and genuine love that I have found here made me want to reach out and help others as they walk this difficult path. Fully retired now, I spend most of my time researching the hereafter and working on my ability to intuitively support myself and others through a greater connection with Spirit. I also love walking daily in nature, and taking pictures of birds and other wildlife. I am grateful for Kurt, my supportive and loving husband of almost 40 years, and adult son, Grant who walk beside me on this journey.

Meetings will be the third Saturday 3-5 pm next to the Galleria. Please contact Pamela for details:

Helping Parents Heal - United Kingdom
I had the pleasure of meeting in person another HPH Affiliate leader Mary Bertun in Inverness! 
Elizabeth had put us in contact knowing Mary was traveling here last month. We had a few days of thunder and lightning that delayed plans to meet but we made it happen and another local shining light mum Denise Anderson came along too. What a wonderful chat about our amazing kids, Chas, Ricki and Aaron, our journeys embracing the wonderful signs and healing tools. I noticed the decor on the wall ~ LEAVES which was our sign of the week and the hotel that Mary was staying in was where we had held Rick's wake. It was such a pleasure and Mary will be coming along to our group soon to talk to us. She leads the group HPH Connecting with our Loved Ones.

Uplifting Podcasts About the Afterlife:
Suzanne Giesemann Interviewed Lisa Wilcoxson on July 18th
Lisa Wilcoxson, Suzanne Giesemann

Two of our beloved providers, Suzanne Giesemann and Lisa Wilcoxson, spoke on July 18th during Suzanne's podcast. 

From Suzanne:
Please join us for a conversation with a gifted medium, my friend and fellow shining light parent, Lisa Wilcoxson. Lisa’s evolution to becoming a working evidential medium began after the death of her two sons, although she was seeing spirit even as a child. She’s a beautiful example of the kind of healing that can come when we know that love and life are eternal. I know this episode of Messages of Hope will be uplifting and filled with hope, as well as the evidence that, as Lisa says, “Love. Never. Dies. Neither do we. I’ve been shown.”

Jacob Cooper Interviewed Dr. Lenore Matthew on July 12th
Dr. Lenore Matthew, Jacob Cooper


Jacob Cooper, the best-selling author of 'Life After Breath' and 'The Wisdom of Jacob's Ladder,' has graciously connected Helping Parents Heal with Dr. Lenore Matthew, Dr. of Social Work, Evaluation & Research Specialist, and Evidential Psychic Medium, whose husband tragically completed suicide.  Her story is compelling; her husband Bruno immediately began communicating with her three months after his passing and thus helped her to heal.  She has since become an Evidential Medium, studying at Arthur Findlay College and with esteemed mentors.  She has been researching the healing effect of working with a qualified medium instead of traditional therapy.  Please watch their fascinating interview by clicking here.  We plan to have Dr. Lenore speak to Helping Parents Heal soon.

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
