Tena Calderone
I am Tena Calderone, and I am mother to 3 grown boys, and a step daughter I raised. My middle son Brendon crossed over 9-27-20 on his 37th birthday, the result of a hiking accident in the mountains outside Seattle. Nothing could have prepared me for a loss of this magnitude, not even the passing of my husband in 2014. I was paralyzed by grief, and could not imagine my life going on without Brendon.
I tried traditional grief counseling, and a faith based grief group, that would not allow any discussion about mediums. I listened to hundreds of podcasts and read voraciously about the afterlife. I had 4 incredible readings and all told me the same details about Brendon’s crossing, and I know without a doubt that our loved ones are still here.
I found out about HPH in 2021, and attended the conferences in 2022 and 2024. Both were instrumental to my healing journey and becoming a shining light parent.
I get so many signs from Brendon, and it is because of his guidance that it is time for me to step up and help others on this journey. I can hear him say “you go mom!”
Carla Johnson
I became a Shining Light Parent in March of 2022 when my son, Kyle, had a mountaineering accident in Germany. Kyle immediately began sending me signs! With the help of HPH I have learned so many different modalities to continue my relationship and communication with Kyle.
I will be forever grateful for the work of the organization and look forward to creating community and helping other parents on their journeys.
