The Healing Chickadee

The Healing Chickadee Creating a catalyst of conversation through, music, videos & activities as a family travels together. Individually and as a family we stumbled and crumbled.

When I was just 10 years old, my 16 year old brother died suddenly. I created a sweet program for children that are on the journey of grieving the death of a loved one. The flock of birds are called the Tweet-Hearts and they will bring stories that support, educate and comfort a child who has experienced the death of a loved one. Developed with a psychotherapist, the birds bring a monthly message of hope and love. The activities and stories are designed to promote communication and healing for the whole family. Speaking through sweet bird characters, The Healing Chickadee may assist a grieving child.

For those of you who may not know Dr. William Petit, his beloved wife and daughters were murdered in a horrific home invasion in Cheshire. In the face of unimaginable loss, Dr. Petit chose a path of hope and purpose. Through the Petit Family Foundation, he has spent years helping other victims of violence and supporting programs that lift children and families during their darkest hours.
This year, we applied for a grant—and we are humbled and grateful to share that we were awarded funding to send The Healing Chickadee grief program to organizations serving families touched by violent crime.
Because of this generous support, we will be able to provide our comforting chickadee plush, healing activities, gentle music, and “Tweethearts” messages to organizations such as Parents of Murdered Children, Survivors of Homicide, and others walking alongside families who are grieving the unimaginable.
Every Healing Chickadee delivered represents a small moment of comfort—a soft place to land—for a child or family carrying deep sorrow.
❤️ Thank you to the Petit Family Foundation for believing in this mission of love, healing, and connection. Together, we are helping families find hope again

I was happy to be invited onto a morning radio show to talk about the Chickadee.

Grieving is a strange feeling. We don’t talk about it enough but it’s a process 100 percent of human beings will go through. We learned about Connecticut-based non-profit, Soulful Sydney, Inc, dedicated to children’s emotional health and offering programs tailored to help kids learn to grieve ...
