To all parents and family members, I am very sorry about the death of your child’s earthly body.  (I use those words because your children didn't really die – just their earth-suit did.  That's an extremely important and comforting distinction.)  I’m glad you are learning how to optimally heal and transform despite this seemingly senseless tragedy.  Six keys to doing that are to remember the following about your children . . .
 
            1. Over 99.9% of who and what your child IS (not was) continues in the next phase of life.  This is true no matter how they passed on and at what age.  See the collective evidence for life after death in these articles:

            #1 Scientific Evidence That Bodily Death Is NOT the End of Life
 

            #60 Clinical Evidence That Life Continues After Physical Death
 

            #115 Firsthand Experience Evidence for Life After Death


  1. Their love, energy, sense of humor, memories, personality, and much more continue in the next phase of forever. We know this is true through scientific study of postmaterial (the so-called 'deceased') people and clinical data from near-death experiences, life between lives sessions, and evidential medium reports. 

  2. They are happy, peaceful, loving, and enthusiastic – and want you to be the same.  Read article #2 When a Child Changes Worlds to learn how you can do that. 

                4. You will see them when you pass on and can enjoy a different kind of relationship now.  To learn more, see article #9 Visit With ‘Departed’ Loved Ones Now and #28 Afterlife Contacts.   Then use the free Afterlife Contact Session audio program at Shop. 
     
                5. You can choose daily to transmute your grief into a spiritually transformative experience that powerfully improves your life and blesses others.  To learn how, see article #82 Greater Reality Healing: A Higher-Energy Path After Big Changes / Losses and watch my videos at Greater Reality Healing. 

                6. You can heal yourself and create more meaning to your child's life by helping others.  Also, consider the possibility that your and your child's souls / consciousness volunteered to take part in a meta-plan as described in article #119 Helping Yourself, Others, and Our World. 

   

After a child transitions from earth, family members understandably feel much pain, sadness, anger, guilt, and other lower-energy emotions.  No one could or should ever judge you about that.  However, many people have learned to regularly use the above keys to feel more peace, joy, love, and gratitude.  To learn more, see article #108 Higher Energies, Emotions, and Ways of Being.    

You can do the same.  It’s not easy and it usually doesn’t happen overnight, but it is possible via daily small steps using those keys and the following seven action steps . . .

  1. Attend online HPH meetings shown at Calendar and attend local Affiliate Groups.  (If there's not an in-person group nearby, consider starting one.)   

 

  1. Use Special Interest Groups that offer more focused service for fathers, siblings, parents of children who passed by suicide or substance abuse, and more.

  2. Contact one or more Caring Listeners who talk with you at no charge. These volunteers are not trained therapists; they have been through 'the dark night of the soul' and will share worked for them, recommended resources, and more.    

 

  1. Benefit from my FREE articles, radio shows, newsletters, books, audio programs, and documentary film at SoulProof.com/Articles / Radio Shows / Shop)

 

  1. Watch Affiliate Leader / Caring Listen Interviews, read the Shining Light Parents Speak book, and benefit from other HPH Shining Light Resources

 

  1. Optimally heal, live, and help via the Greater Reality Healing, Living & Helping articles, videos, and meetings (article #131). This program does NOT replace HPH; however, it does help you with other types of big changes and challenges that appear to be losses. 

 

  1. Lean on others and ask for help when you need it. Later, when you are doing better, you can help others by sharing your greatest gifts and following your inner callings.

Q: A year after our darling daughter passed, my husband and I are still tortured by the thoughts that I'm sure you've heard many times.  'Why didn't we see this coming?  Shouldn't we have done something to prevent it?'  I know it's futile, but our minds go there.  Some people say there is 'a time' when souls pass on but is that true?  - Claire

 

A: Dear Clair, thank you for verbalizing what many parents wrestle with.  Thinking 'We should have, could have, would have if only . . . ' over and over again is quite common.  For parents, the three main emotions behind these questions include:

  1. fear about the transition from earth, especially for those who believe in the possibility of an eternal hell*.

  2. guilt and denial involving magical thinking: 'If I feel guilty or relive this enough, maybe her body really won't have died.'

  3. bargaining / denial when your or a loved one’s body is dying; is there ‘a loophole’ to alter the timing?


(* Regarding #1, good evidence shows there are no fiery eternal hells that we are condemned to.  However, there are temporary and self-imposed ones that can be upgraded any time a person / soul is ready to choose peace, joy, love, and good.  To learn more, see article #14 Heaven and Hell . . . What Are They Really?

 

I asked many respected clinicians, physicians, mediums, and others about this ultra important question.  Most of them think there is a time that – given the big picture of life – perspective the soul chooses.  Elizabeth Boisson, who co-founded Helping Parents Heal and is the president of this wonderful organization, has two children who passed on.  She shared several examples of young people who could have passed on one way but that didn’t happen.  However, soon they passed on in a different way.  Elizabeth stated “I believe that we all have several exit points, and that they occur fairly close in linear time.”  Summarizing this topic beautifully, she wrote “The timing and manner in which we transition is not what defines us – it is simply an exit point.”

 

Sometimes there is validation evidence that a potential for the time of passing is considered in spiritual realms.  Lisa Wilcoxen – a HPH Affiliate Leader, Caring Listener, and highly evidential medium – stated in the book Shining Light Parents Speak: “My son told me three things that I could go back and relate to after he passed on.  When Anthony was four, he said ‘When I’m 18, I’m going to leave you and I’m so sad.’  I said, ‘Baby, when you’re 18 you’re a big boy and you go to college.  It’ll be okay.’  When he crossed over, he was 18.  I reflected that no four-year-old would think that.  Where did he get that?  Six months before Anthony passed, he was getting ready to go to college and he said ‘Mom, I need to talk to you.  I’m afraid I’m going to die.  I keep feeling like I’m going to die.  I need you to watch out for me.’  I can’t argue against the view that our souls sometimes know when it’s their time.”

 

Erika, whose daughter Kamara passed on at age 21 just six weeks ago, wrote to me: “From a spiritual perspective, I have come to understand that when it is truly someone’s time, the transition unfolds with a precision that the human mind cannot explain and only the soul can recognize through God’s divine will.  Kamara’s passing was not random; it was exact. She was a passenger in her own car, seated on the side that was not struck. The impact was severe on the driver’s rear side, yet the driver and rear passenger on that side walked away without a scratch. Kamara alone transitioned instantly. To me, this speaks not of chance, but of divine selection of a soul gently called home.”

 

Erika shared a list of wonderful qualities about Kamara that suggest she is a more advanced soul who didn't need a long earthly classroom experience.  She also shared signs that occurred shortly before Kamara changed worlds.  “Two months before, she left me a voicemail at 3 a.m., which was a message of gratitude, admiration, and love.  The message was as if she were sealing something eternal between us. Four weeks before her passing, one of her closest friends, her mirror in spirit, unexpectedly transitioned. Though deeply grieving, Kamara poured herself into supporting others, as she always did.  Two weeks before the accident, she called her father and asked him to explain what happens when you die from a spiritual perspective. He read to her the Grail lecture Ascent and spoke with her for two hours about the soul’s journey beyond this world, never knowing he was preparing her for her own.”

Erikca concluded: “These are confirmations.  Kamara lived spiritually awake.  She loved deeply.  She completed her work here.  And when her time came, her spirit knew exactly where it was going.  She was not taken; she was called home when it was her time.”

 

I couldn't say it any better than that.  To learn more, see articles #140 Is There ‘A Time’ to Pass On? and #127 Might Children Who Pass On Be More Evolved Souls?

 

Claire, I hope this information helps you and your husband let go of the fear, guilt, and other lower-energy emotions that parents commonly feel.  You deserve to feel more happy, peaceful, and fulfilled.  Doing that will put you more on the same wavelength as your beloved daughter and help fulfill the soul's plan you three set up.  What's more, the world is just waiting for you all to share your greatest gifts, help others, and make our world a better place.  To learn more, see articles #108 Higher Energies, Emotions, and Ways of Being and #119 Greater Reality HELPING Others and Our World.
