Hope's "day job" is a talent coordinator with a major financial institution for the past 25 years. Hope believes her purpose in life was given to her after the traumatic loss of her son to murder.   That purpose is to provide positivity, inspiration, and hope to others through her Grief 2 Hope program she created in honor of her son. Grief 2 Hope is a virtual peer grief support group that allows grievers a safe space to be their authentic self with support of others who understand and know exactly what they are going through. One of Hope's quotes she likes to ends each session with is " Grief changes your entire world, it can also inspire you to change the world".    Website   www.grief2hopesupport.com   Facebook   Hope: https://www.facebook.com/hope.day.3975   Grief2Hope https://www.facebook.com/Grief2Hope2020   Instagram   Grief2Hope https://www.instagram.com/grief2hope2020/   Linkedin http://linkedin.com/in/hope-reger-05362984   Grief2Hope  https://www.linkedin.com/company/grief-2-hope   Additional resources:   The National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
