Heide Mairs and her son, Chip / Sherry Maxwell / Zelda Redfield
Please join me, Kathy MacMannis, Patti May, and Rosanne Groover Norris in welcoming the newest members of our Affiliate Leader team, Heide Mairs, Sherry Maxwell, and Zelda Basta ! They will be taking over for Lynn Argetsinger and Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, who have done a wonderful job leading the Minneapolis/St Paul Group.
Heidi Mairs
Hi my name is Heide and I’m the single mother of my handsome, adventurous sweet son Chip. Chip transitioned in 2018 one week after his 20th birthday after ingesting a pill laced with fentanyl. Chip had struggled with addiction for several years and had been clean and sober for a year prior to this relapse. The night prior to his leaving this earthly plane he came home and was crying and I had the opportunity to hug him and hold him and tell him I loved him. He knew something I didn’t. The day after his transitioning, a red cardinal showed up on my back doorstep! That was my first sign that he was still right here! I found HPH at the time of the pandemic and was spiritually fed by the near daily zoom opportunities. My life has changed since finding HPH and becoming involved in this community of other like-minded parents. I hope I can help others in finding the spiritual growth, hope, and “knowing” that I have gained so far on my journey.
Sherry Maxwell
I am Sherry, and I am the blessed mother of two born children, Sam f27, and Sydney, 25 years old. My beautiful, sweet Sam transitioned on May 12, 2022, as the result of fentanyl poisoning. He was handsome, smart, kind, funny, friendly, compassionate, athletic, warm.
I had my children later in life, and they are the world to me! Once born, I couldn’t imagine my life without either of them. And now, I was forced to do just that. As we all know, it is hard to imagine anything more painful than the loss of your child.
HPH has introduced me to a whole new world of wonder and belief in the “other side”. I have had amazing visits from Sam, with the mediums I have found, and some powerful incidents and messages directly from Sam, that assure me that he is ever present in my life today.
Zelda Redfield
Hi, I’m Zelda, mom of two children, one still here on Earth and one in Heaven. I have always known there was an “after” in death, but I had never pursued learning about it until the unthinkable happened. In 2019 I found myself trying to survive in a world without my daughter Jennalee’s physical presence. Early on I recognized signs from her, but I knew there had to be more. After a year of searching and trying different grief groups, mediums and classes I found Helping Parents Heal. I knew instantly that I had found my community. I was connected with other parents who had experienced the same type of loss and was offered new opportunities and resources to grow and learn about connecting with Jennalee again. As I continue my relationship with Jennalee I can now do it with a sense of hope, purpose, and joy.
Heide, Sherry & Zelda will be replacing Lynn Argetsinger and Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, who have been excellent Affiiiate Leaders and who have recently stepped down. We are grateful to have them with us!
