What We Do

We give verified US offshore workers emergency rescue service aids, PLBs - Personal Locator Beacons, that identify the GPS location of the person lost at sea, therefore protecting stranded offshore worker’s health, safety, and life while facilitating emergency personnel’s life saving rescue.

Gifting PLBs to confirmed US offshore workers is our top priority. Jason’s Beacon does not make PLBs ourselves. We have chosen a company with existing award winning devices made for the water, at this time it is ACR Artex. Through generous donations, we buy them and then we give the PLBs away to individuals who complete our online request form and are verified as working out to sea in a US offshore industry, whether in commercial fishing, merchant mariners, oil & gas, or wind energy.

Until the day that offshore companies are mandated to provide these life saving devices to their workers, or they choose to buy them regardless, or the cost of a device for an individual comes down significantly, Jason's Beacon will buy and gift them, then pray they’ll never need to use it.

Our Jason was a skilled swimmer in the ocean, but we heard testimony and radio recordings from the Seacor Power disaster that more than one crewman did not know how to swim, had never learned, and this compounded the terror they were experiencing, even with life jackets on, to the point of hindering their self-rescue.

The basic offshore safety and emergency training required for oil, gas, and wind energy offshore work doesn’t teach workers how to tread water, least of all in the waves and currents of the ocean.

Anyone reading this that does not know how to swim, please know it is easy for an adult to learn powerful swim strokes and kicking techniques in a pool that can then be practiced from beaches in the ocean. Like riding a bicycle, once learned these skills are never lost. Don’t wait any longer! Search your area for the closest adult swimming classes. Your life is worth it!

Grief over someone or something lost is an experience we’ll all go through, yet it will be unique to each of us. Our culture and faith based systems have been teaching grief as a linear, phase by phase, checklist with an end to it process that is basically the same for everyone, which is not true at all. Most of us were socialized incorrectly on the topic of grief.

Grief is different for everybody, it is normal for each individual to handle it differently. It is normal for individuals to uniquely progress through grief in different non-linear phases with ups and downs, forwards and backwards, at different speeds. Well intentioned people have actually hurt individuals who are grieving with their ‘advice’ and impatience for people to not feel bad anymore. Then there are those who are defeatist and want to tell other grievers that it’s impossible to heal their particular grief. That isn’t correct either. There are no absolutes in grief.

We want to support people in grief, and those who love them, in understanding by sharing the latest in evidence based grief recovery. Right now, that is the Grief Recovery Method. You can get The Grief Recovery Handbook for less than $20 on Amazon or from the Grief Recovery Method website.
