I just finished attending the first session of Grief 2 Hope and I’m so glad I signed up. I can already tell this is going to be extremely helpful as I navigate all these emotions that not only come from losing John, but in losing him in such a violent way. The founder, Hope Reger, and I share many similarities, including the fact that in 2016, her son, Justin, died from gun violence too at the age of 19.
The intro session consisted of Hope providing a summary of what the program entails and letting us know active participation is optional. If you just want to sit and listen that’s totally fine. She told us to do whatever makes us feel most comfortable. It’s definitely a safe space to share your grief with others who understand exactly how you feel.
At the end of the session, she gave examples of how Grief2Hope gave previous attendees the strength to do wonderful things in memory of the loved ones they’ve lost. Hearing what these participants are now doing to honor their loved ones is very inspiring.
I think I’m really going to like this program and am looking forward to next week.
While I can’t share specifics because the sessions are private, I can share the link and invite anyone who is experiencing grief to register for the upcoming sessions.
