I get it!
I'm Steve Johnson, co-founder of PathLights. As a minister for more than 30 years, I've walked with friends & family members through their losses, while others have walked with me through my own.
But as I've often struggled with a consistent problem...
Loss resources are fragmented and inconsistent.
While it was easy to find books, web resources and support groups dealing with death and grief, the language used for death didn't usually fit other types of loss, like job loss, natural disaster, or domestic violence.
I used what I had learned to support and encourage, but I often felt helpless when others minimized or suppressed their loss experiences. I didn't have the best words or tools to effectively speak to their needs or my own.
Imagine what it would feel like to...
Finally have clear, simple language to understand the experience of loss.
Have practical tools to help build resilience and restore agency to someone who has suffered a loss.
Recognize the impact and connection of your losses and begin to integrate them more effectively into your life.
All while building your confidence to care for others.
We believe that by leaning into loss, building resiliency, and actively supporting each other, we can create healthier loss experiences.
Our goal is to help people deal proactively with loss in its many forms, particularly in the early days, when grief hasn't yet set in.
Since early 2018, our team has evaluated existing loss research and analyzed related resources to identify a new roadmap through loss.
And now we're excited to share what we've learned with you!
We Are PathLights is a 6-session online group experience for individuals, professional caregivers, counselors, or other alongsiders who want to understand loss so they can help themselves and others.
