Hope Kit

Not knowing what to say to someone grieving is a common fear shared by many. ⁣
⁣
It’s important to focus on how you show up in someone’s life. Your presence is the most important way you can support anyone moving through grief. Your words will likely have little negative impact if coming from a place of good intention. ⁣

But it can be helpful to have a few key phrases on hand to make you feel more comfortable and help the person grieving feel more comforted.

These words differ based on the relationship and situation, so keep that in mind. ⁣

Please remember that everyone deals with grief differently. It’s always better to ask how you can best support them in their time of need rather than guessing.

Save this post to help you with future situations.⁣

Live Your Life
Your loved one wouldn’t want your life to stop because of what happened to them. It’s important to live your life while keeping them in your heart and memories.

3 Inspiring Takeaways from Our Presentation at the BYU Loss Conference Last Friday

Hey everyone!

Last Friday, my wife Kirsten and I had the honor of presenting at the BYU Loss Conference, and it was truly a blessing to share our journey with all of you. Here are three powerful takeaways that we're still reflecting on:

1️⃣ Embracing Death Anniversaries and Holidays with Intention: We discussed the importance of embracing anniversaries and being intentional about how we approach them. Through our own experiences, we've learned that these moments can be profound opportunities for healing and growth when we approach them with mindfulness and intention.

2️⃣ Finding Strength Through Faith: We shared how God's hand has guided us and provided strength on our healing journey. His presence has been a source of comfort and reassurance, helping us navigate even the darkest of times with hope and resilience.

3️⃣ Our Experience Offers Gifts to Others: Just like throwing a stone in a pond, our experiences create ripples that extend far beyond ourselves. By embracing our journey and sharing our stories, we've been able to offer gifts of healing and support to others who may be struggling. It's been an honor and a blessing to witness the impact of our experiences as they ripple out and touch the lives of others.

As we continue on our paths towards healing and growth, let's remember the power of our stories and the ripple effect they have on those around us. Together, with faith and intention, we can find strength and offer hope to others who may be walking a similar path.

Blessings,

Jason & Kirsten Clawson

🌟 **Exciting Day at Lehi High School with Pretherapy!** 🌟

Hey everyone! Last week, we had an incredible opportunity to share the unique and transformative journey of Pretherapy at Lehi High School's community event. It was a day filled with insightful conversations, laughter, and learning.

Our team set up a vibrant, inviting booth where we introduced students, teachers, and parents to our groundbreaking 6-week pretherapy training program. The buzz was all about how Pretherapy turns the often-daunting prospect of therapy into a fun, engaging, and truly healing journey.

We showcased our Pretherapy box – a compact treasure trove of activities, tools, and resources designed to prepare individuals for therapy. It's packed with humor, warmth, and innovative approaches to tackling mental wellness. The interactive demos were a hit! Participants got a firsthand experience of how Pretherapy makes the preparation for therapy not just easy, but enjoyable too.

What truly stood out was the openness and eagerness of the Lehi High community to embrace new methods of addressing mental health. We had heartfelt discussions, shared stories, and even some laughs about the quirky aspects of our journey toward healing.

Our message was clear: Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. It can be a path filled with light-hearted moments, growth, and self-discovery. And Pretherapy is here to guide you through each step with a smile!

A big thank you to Lehi High School for hosting us and to everyone who joined us today. Your enthusiasm and willingness to explore new paths in mental wellness are what drive us. Together, we're breaking the stigma, one laugh and one healing step at a time!
