Filling a Gap for Gold Star Families on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

Amber Eidem is Founder and current President of nonprofit The Precious Legacy (TPL)  that holds destination retreats for the young adult surviving children of service members that have died serving our Nation. Heaven Wadsworth TPL Board Secretary, and Military Survivors Advocate - Will be joining us. TPL does not practice bereavement hierarchy; every child grieves and is deserving of support, regardless of military branch, manner or location of loss, or biological relationship to their fallen service member. All surviving young adult children (ages 19-24) of the US Military qualify!

Amber married an Active Duty Army Officer and having three children at home kept her very busy. In 2016 her husband was killed in the line of duty, leaving her to pick up the pieces. By the time the Eidem family was ready to explore the military support systems available to them, it was too late for more than one reason. Just a year after loss, oldest daughter Shae had 'aged-out' of any support groups available to her, leaving her to deal with her grief alone. In 2019 Amber applied for a family camp for survivors that accepted the aged-out as well, but was denied because her husband wasn't killed on foreign land. Amber had a new Mission/Motto 'Walking in their footsteps, while creating my own path'  See: thepreciouslegacy.org

This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior!
