I found Jeff and Cathy Teichert in August of 2022​ (1 year before writing this). My divorce was almost finalized and I was trying to heal from the devastating loss of a 35 year marriage. I didn’t know if I ever wanted to remarry. I was deeply hurt and​ had already tried all I could to get back on my feet emotionally and socially. I had a great therapist that helped a lot but found I needed additional support.

That’s when I joined Knights of the Lily. It was here that I found the support I was looking for and gained the confidence that there was a lot of life left to live joyfully. It also didn’t matter that I was in my mid 60s. This group provided a safe space for us to be open and honest with what was going on in our lives and help us process our trauma and move forward. I found men here that were willing to love and support and understand me. Encouragement was ample and freely given. I remember saying in the group one evening last fall that this is what our quorum meetings should be like at church.

I have now been able to move on with my life with a wonderful companion (recently married)! We are so excited for the life we get to build together. Life has never been brighter and more promising, due in part to my association with Jeff and Cathy and the many fine men I meet with monthly. If you find yourself single, no matter your age and in need of support, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff and Cathy, their book Intentional Courtship and their monthly ​group coaching sessions.
