Activities!

When I was a child of only ten, I did not possess the skills that may have been helpful to healing the grief I felt.  I began to look outside myself rather than trust my own "Guide Inside."  With that in mind, The Healing Chickadee and Her Tweet-Hearts teach those skills through activities.  One of my favorite arrives in missive number one.  Chickadee teaches meditation!   This practice will become a life long ability to get calm and become centered.  Better decisions come from a calm mind.  Thank you Chickadee!

My Parent's Wisdom and Guidance-STILL Helping Me!

I have been working closely with my family on the development of The Healing Chickadee.  It's a trauma we all survived together so they are perfect to help with the design and content.

I asked each of them to please write a review for the web site. These are my mother's thoughts:

Healing Chickadee

Product Review (submitted on November 21, 2014):

I am a mother, grandmother an aunt and a sister, I have endured the death of a loved one at all ages of my life. I was six years old when my mother died. My father was uncontrollable and I was a very scared and confused child. My siblings and I found solace in school and church.

Life proceeded and then the worst happened, my son died. It was then I felt helpless to aid my other children. The 10 year old (my daughter) grew up and thru much thought and prayers has introduced "The Healing Chickadee." This is a magnificent program for young grieving children.

This is a year long program to brighten the child's heart and soul. Every life is precious.

You will be enlightened with the program. You lives will be enriched and healing will be yours.

Product Review (submitted on November 21, 2014):

I am Terry's father and I am 85 years old. When my son died, my wife and I were devastated and shocked in a way that defied our ability to understand. The shock of the sudden loss of a 16 year old boy left us at a loss about how to render assistance to our three surviving children.

I think my daughter, Terry, creating the Healing Chickadee program, comes from her experience as a child. At age ten, she grieved the loss of her brother and wants to assist other children in similar circumstances.

Looking back I think it's a creative and worthwhile idea. A bird a month along with a story coming to our 10 year old would have opened the door to discussion. It would have given us a frame work to help her as she struggled to cope...as we all struggled to cope. I am glad she has created something for others that would have helped us as a family.

Sincerely,
Charlie Clarke

Thank you Mom & Dad!  I love you!

What do birds and angels have in common?

What do birds and angels have in common?  Wings!
Lately though, I've found MANY angels without wings.  They have arrived in human form.

I was LOSING my mind with my web site.  LOSING MY MIND I tell you!  I could not get it completed  and I was in tears.  I called for the "umpteenth" time.  Is "umpteenth" a word?  I don't care. I called the web company A LOT.

One night, as I was feeling defeated, a young woman named Gaby got on the phone.  She is an angel in human form.  She took this web site and made it her mission. She helped me, assisted me, advised me and advocated for me.  We need Gaby in government.   Her heart and soul resonated with the project.

I found a man named Rich who is a printer and one of the best human beings I know.  He has been my adviser and supplier.  He has yet to send me a bill.  His theory is that when it takes off, he'll get paid. He has the faith of a Bible character.  LOVE him! Another of my human angels.

My sister Deb is another angel.  She has worked hard for many hours to edit my writing.  My friend Pat proof reads everything.  She is my typo spotter.  Two more angels without wings who flew in to help me.

Do you believe in angels?  I do.

That's the news from my nest!
