Helping Parents Heal assists bereaved parents in very significant ways. It provides personal and specialized support, tips, and tools for finding hope for those parents whose children have passed. It offers much-needed peer support which aids in the healing process going a step beyond other groups because it supports the open discussion of spiritual experiences and evidence for the afterlife in a non-dogmatic way. Everyone is welcome regardless of religious or non-religious background allowing for open dialogues for those to wish who wish to share their personal afterlife communications. I’m truly both delighted and honored to have been asked to introduce some of the enlightened presenters who were at this conference in August, 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona. These insights provide uplifting interviews comprising a special new series on the Grief and Rebirth Podcast that will illumine the wondrous healing work of Helping Parents Heal – the organization’s sole mission is to help other parents who have also lost their precious children ensuring them that they need not walk alone through their profound grief.
The next conference will again take place in Phoenix, Arizona in 2024.
