It's All Good - An International Celebration

Coping with the Death of a Child - A Parents Journey

Aug 27, 2009 John Culbertson

What's a parent to do when they have experienced the death of a child? Connie Jordan and psychic medium Martin Jordan explain International It's All Good Day.

Connie and Martin Jordan are a special couple. Connie is a metaphysical comedian and Martin is a professional psychic medium. Both of them have been involved in the New Age field for many years and both of them have experience in coping with the death of a child. Additionally, both are preparing to celebrate International It's All Good Day. Some would describe the story of this amazing couple’s healing journey as touching and others would use the term "inspiring."

Coping with the Death of a Child - The Tragedy of Leukemia

The story of this couple’s journey begins around July 7th, 2007. It was on that date that Connie Jordan and her husband Martin started a blog for their son Andrew. The blog would end up following, in detail, the final days of Andrew’s time here in the physical world. Andrew was diagnosed with Leukemia on July 11, 2007. Leukemia is a deadly form of cancer. Roughly 15,000 new cases of Leukemia were reported by the American Cancer Society in 2008.

Andrew, like many children with leukemia, had both his parents with him every step of the way. In fact, the blog offers a rare inside look into the emotions of joy, love, and pain that parents can go through when dealing with losing a child. That blog also covers the aftermath of dealing with the death of a child.

Andrew Jordan was 16-years-old at the time of his passing on October 22, 2007. For many parents the intense grief of the loss a child would cause them to sink into depression. The Jordan’s, however, took a somewhat different perspective on the death of their child.

It's All Good - Coping With Loss Through A Healing Celebration of Life

According to their blog, October 27, 2007 was the viewing for their son. Following the viewing was not just a service, but a celebration of Andrew Jordan’s life here in the physical world and the one that awaited him in the life beyond.

The blog states that Connie, Martin, and family and friends would drum, sing, laugh, and cry to the memories of their son. A eulogy was read that day. As a medium, Martin Jordan was capable of telling others what Andrew desired in his eulogy. A friend wrote as Martin spoke. In all, it was a very powerful experience that is still very vivid to the couple.

The blog continues, to this date, with the memories and the experiences of both Connie and Martin as they continue to cope with loss. It further explores beliefs that deal with their son now that he is in the afterlife.

Turning the Tragedy of the Death of a Child into a Healing Journey

It’s been almost two years since their son crossed over on October 22, 2007. It is largely due to the events that happened during their journey with their son Andrew that Connie and Martin Jordan were inspired to create International It's All Good Day and The Only Love is Real Concert. Both are educational and healing events that the couple uses to guide, inspire, and teach “muggles” here in the physical world.

"Muggles," incidentally, is the term that Connie uses for people that don’t really understand the world from a metaphysical or new age perspective. She borrowed the term from the Harry Potter series and continues to use it both in her comedy routines as well as in her interaction with people.

International It's All Good Day - A Healing Celebration for the World

International It's All Good Day is celebrated on October 22 every year. It is the day that, according to the couple, their son returned home. According to Connie, more and more people are becoming involved with International It's All Good Day.

The name comes from a saying that Andrew consistently used while he was in the physical form. For Andrew, no matter how rough things were, he always found a way to say “It’s all good.” Connie Jordan and her husband Martin seek to keep this memory alive and to inspire people all over the world to celebrate the day with them. It is a day when, no matter what happens, a person finds a way to stay positive and just say “It’s all good.”

The Healing Power of the Only Love is Real Concert

Being a gifted musician as well as a medium, Martin has been listening to their son since the day of his crossing. Martin Jordan, along with the help from Andrew’s spiritual energy, has been composing music. This music, combined with the storytelling ability of his wife, has been put into a concert dedicated to healing the human soul. It is the story of their son’s life and death and the lessons that can be learned from it. The concert is called Only Love is Real. They currently tour the world, as Pure Heart, performing their music concert which continues to receive glowing reviews. They’ve even had the pleasure to perform for angel expert Dr. Doreen Virtue.

Healing After the Loss of a Child

Any parent that has experienced the loss of a child knows how difficult it is to find healing energy. Connie and Martin understand this and they hope to use their gifts, songs, and abilities to ease a little bit of pain and, ultimately, inspire those that have suffered any type of death related loss to begin their own healing journey. To this end, their concert also serves as a fundraiser for LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) with a percentage of their ticket sales going for Leukemia research.
