A Story of Hope: Support for Wives
“HopeQuest truly is different!” We never grow tired of hearing this from men and their families. Throughout the coming months, HopeQuest is highlighting the seven pillars that define The HopeQuest Difference. Each pillar represents a defining part of the HopeQuest approach and shapes the way care is delivered to the men and families we serve. During the month of May, we are featuring a key component of our approach to family care: our Care for Wives program.
Meet Sara and Ross. Their story is one of restoration and a reminder that healing does not happen in isolation. While Ross was in treatment at HopeQuest, Sara stepped into her own recovery journey through the Care for Wives program, where she found the support, clarity, and direction she needed during one of the most difficult seasons of her life.
When Everything Changed
Sara and Ross first met in college in 2006 and began building a life together soon thereafter. They married in 2008 and are now raising two children, ages 15 and 12, while balancing work and family life. Ross’s career as a high school baseball coach required long hours and constant attention; over time, Sara found herself carrying much of the responsibility at home. Though life appeared stable from the outside, she started to notice a growing sense of disconnection within her marriage. [READ MORE]
