What if the pain of loss could become the foundation for growth and transformation? 🌱 In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, host Brian Smith welcomes Dolores Cruz and Allison Alison—two shining light parents who share their journeys of healing after the unimaginable loss of their children.

Dolores Cruz is a devoted mother and author who lost her son Eric in 2017. Eric’s passing sparked a spiritual awakening that led her to seek connection and meaning through signs, synchronicities, and her enduring relationship with her son’s spirit. Dolores is a proud member of Helping Parents Heal and a contributing author to Shining Light Parents Speak, a book capturing the stories of parents who have transformed their grief into hope.

Allison Alison is the mother of three and a passionate advocate for honoring the legacies of children who have passed. After her son Davey’s transition in 2016, Allison discovered profound signs from him, which reassured her that love transcends physical death. Her journey with Helping Parents Heal has empowered her to support other parents navigating the path of grief while maintaining a vibrant connection with her son.

Through heartfelt stories, spiritual signs, and the power of community, Dolores and Allison reveal how they've turned their grief into a force for good. Together, they discuss:

🌟 The profound signs from their children that reaffirm their continued presence
