I lost my best friend, my only child, my beautiful 24 year old daughter Carly Elizabeth Hughes to esophageal-gastric cancer on February 17th, 2013. Like so many of us who have experienced this devastating loss my daughter’s passing sent me on a spiritual quest. I have found friends and comfort through this remarkable group Helping Parents Heal. In the short time since Carly’s passing I have had definite proof that consciousness survives physical death, that Carly is well, and with me always. I have been fortunate to speak with mediums who were able to provide absolute evidence of the afterlife, indisputable information relayed bringing comfort and helping to lighten the heavy weight of grief. With family and Carly’s friends we have created a foundation in her honor- Carly’s Kids A Foundation For Education, I hope you will take the time to read about us and what we are doing in Carly’s memory.

We all wear many hats and carry many titles. I’ve worn many, but Mother has been the one that brought the most profound joy I could have ever imagined. My husband, Andy, a retired Marine and I have been blessed with 3 beautiful and very active boys, Conor, Jack and Aiden. We have been fortunate to travel the world and live in many different places. I was always very aware and appreciative of the beautiful life I was living. My life, came crashing down in March of 2013. Aiden, my youngest son, died by suicide at the age of 15. Eight months later, just as I felt that I was learning to breathe again Conor, my oldest son, died in an accidental fall while away at college at the age of 20. This culminated in not only the deepest grief and pain a mother can experience, but also an extraordinary journey of awakening and enlightenment that came in the surprising form of signs, messages and real time communication. All of this has led me to know that our loved ones are still very present. I am not waiting to get to Heaven to continue a relationship with my boys. They let me know often that they are by my side and together we have much work to do! I have found Heaven in my Heart….

Our oldest son Weston passed from a sudden and most unexpected seizure on August 12, 2018. He was otherwise a very healthy, happy, gregarious, 32-year-old, successfully running his own business in Big Sur, California. He had big plans for the future! Despair, a massively broken heart and the overwhelm of grief led me to seek hope and new solutions to living. Through reading endlessly, I discovered that suffering is optional grief is not and because I continued to open doors, I found Helping Parents Heal. COVID-19 closed the window to life as we knew it, yet again. However, thanks to the supportive environment of HPH and countless zoom presentations enjoyed in the comfort of my home, my spiritual grounding began to evolve, one day at a time, slowly adjusting, ever evolving bringing peace, belief and trust in extraordinary ways. I am so grateful. I know Weston is with us, right here right now! In honor of his legacy, a fund was created to support non-profits in the town he cherished. More can be read at www.LoveBigSur.com
