We all have our stories. Hope Givers grant us the resources and courage to tell them. HG is a compilation of stories and resources for overcoming adversity.

TITUSVILLE, NJ, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At the age of 14, Jodi witnessed a freak accident which resulted in the lose of a friend. At 29, she learned that her husband Kevin was terminally ill and she became a full-time caregiver while raising a toddler, at 35 and as the mother of an 8 year old, she checked the widow box at her doctor's appointment.

These moments brought her to her knees and lead to severe depression.

By the time we are adults, 70% of us have experienced trauma.

But with help (hope givers), healing is possible.

TEDx speaker, Rutgers MSW student and Founder of a Mercer County non profit, Hope Loves Company, Jodi has shared her vulnerability in Hope Givers: Conversations and Stories of Hope. The self-help resource takes readers inside her own deeply emotional journey through caregiving, loss, and grief.

Hope Givers is a raw, unfiltered look that focuses on O’Donnell-Ames’ successes while acknowledging her failures and shortcomings with candor.

“Our biggest challenges can result in our deepest clarity and creation,” O’Donnell-Ames said.

Hope Givers includes additional stories and references from thought leaders, mental health professionals, and friends whose wisdom and perspectives bring valuable lessons and comfort.

“Somewhere among these pages, you will find a moment of connection and insight,” she said. “It's an indisputable truth that while life is complicated and difficult, hope is reserved for each and every one of us.”

“There are people and there are resources out there that will support you in your journey and that will help you find a way to process what you’re feeling,” she added.
