Tom had lost his younger brother in a similar storm. The memories came flooding back, triggering a deep sense of loss and unresolved guilt that he'd managed to keep at bay for years.

Despite these differing opinions, Tom found the program to be his lifeline. He couldn’t find similar resources locally, and the online accessibility was a game-changer. Looking back, he knew seeking help was one of his bravest decisions. It opened a path to healing that he hadn’t thought possible.
