As we embark on this journey together, exploring the landscape of grief, we wanted to share a part of our own story with you. We believe that in sharing our experiences, we can foster a sense of connection and understanding in the midst of your own unique pain.

Before we delve into the heart of this course on healing, we wanted to pause and share a moment of prayer with you.

Thank you for choosing to navigate healing with us. We, Benji and Jen, acknowledge the immense pain and grief that brings you here.

We've reached the end of this course, and I want to express how incredibly proud I am of you. Stepping into this journey, acknowledging the weight of your past and the shame you've carried, and choosing to explore these difficult emotions – that takes immense courage.
