The Program

Follow the path to a positive future and purposeful life

  • HOPE

    Step 1 in this program we have an interactive course that leads you towards a feeling of more hope in your widowed journey. Initially in the hope stage there is not much of a feeling of hope. It feels mostly like survival. The purpose of the hope stage is to move from survival, to bereavement, to believement. Believement is that moment where you've become aware of and have accepted the feeling of HOPE. There may not be a specific goal/purpose, but there is a broad understanding and decision to move forward.

  • HEAL

    Step 2 The HEAL phase can be described as a participation phase. This is where you have already decided there is more for your life and to move forward. Here we actively participate in the hard work to get us ready for MORE. This is a very active phase. Showing up for yourself and taking the responsibility for your healing is vital. Setting boundaries in this phase is for protection, for what you need to do to heal. Being honest with yourself is an important part of this stage of life.

  • GROW

    Step 3 This phase is a purposeful phase. Here, we have moved from survival, developed a hope, chosen to actively heal, and are moving towards growing and nourishing who we are now, loss included. This is a time of reflection of how far you have come and what you are grateful for. Your world is expanding and you are stepping into it.

  • LEAD

    Step 4 In this phase your journey has you in a place that is likely full of gratitude. You feel balance and fairness. You are mentoring others while walking beside them. Your mindset is of advocacy and giving back. You have the comfort to hold space for others. You are not here by accident. You worked hard and with intention.
