Janet Miller* was just a normal housewife living in Merrifield, Virginia. But the news about Alex Jones and his cruel lies about the Sandy Hook shooting triggered something deep within her. You see, years ago, Janet had lost her own young son to a tragic accident. The grief was overwhelming, and she had gone through a period of denial and conspiratorial thinking, grasping at any explanation that could make the pain go away.

Hearing how Jones had tormented the families of Sandy Hook victims by denying the very reality of their loss struck a chord with Janet. She remembered how harmful it had been to fall down that rabbit hole of delusion, and she felt immense empathy for what those poor parents were going through, dealing with such cruelty on top of their unimaginable loss.

This news awakened Janet's determination to heal from her own trauma in a healthier way. She discovered the Stepping Into Action program and started following its steps to work through her grief. Janet's husband Roger* was supportive, saying I'm so proud of you for finding a positive path forward. Our son would want us to find peace.

Some experts praised Janet's approach, noting the importance of professional grief counseling and avoiding the lure of conspiracy theories which can trap people in cycles of denial and anger. However, others argued that online programs can't replace personalized therapy, and cautioned against putting too much stock in generic self-help methods.

Ultimately though, Janet felt the online program gave her useful tools and a new perspective. It was difficult to find adequate local resources, so having an accessible option to guide her healing journey was invaluable. While the road was long, she knew confronting her pain head-on, rather than escaping into delusion, was the best way to honor her son's memory.
