About The Project

As humans, we experience life challenges. 

​

Addiction.

Adoption.

Chronic illness.

Death of a spouse.

Divorce.

Death of close friend or relative

Infertility.

Loss of a job.

Near death experience.

Loss of a pet.

Pandemic.

Unplanned pregnancy.

Among many others.

​

We are striving to give a voice to stories of muted grief for the purpose of understanding why grief is sometimes silenced.

​

Once information is gathered from our survey(LINK), we will read your stories to determine common themes.​
