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.

This is what my dad wrote:

Healing Chickadee

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!
