Jillian advocates for breaking the cycle of generational trauma by addressing one's own wounds to prevent passing them on to the next generation.

“And he looked at me and he's like, "But you're you're changing you're changing the cycle. You're stopping it." And it's like, "Do you need anything else better in life?"”

Family pathology propagates through generations until an individual has the courage to address and interrupt the trauma cycle.

“family pathology roles from generation to generation like a fire in the woods taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames that person brings peace to his ancestors and spares the children that follow”

When a severe family event occurs, families should choose to face the truth and build a stronger foundation together rather than choosing denial.

“I feel like it's very easy when something like this happens to allow it to break a family apart and I think that that I mean if you think about it that's almost like the natural thing that would happen because it's like a volcano erupting in the middle of your family it's like what do we do now”

He expresses frustration and confusion over how the tragedy has caused the family to splinter rather than unite.

“I mean, I thought, you know, something like this happening, it would kind of bring our family together more, but it turns out it just pushed us away even further.”
