Our Story
Life has a way of teaching us lessons we never asked to learn.
Far too often, those lessons come with the difficult task of piecing our lives back together after unimaginable loss.
When my fiancé died suddenly when we were only 25, I discovered that grief can be a strange and lonely place one where you can be surrounded by people who love you and still feel completely alone. Over time, I came to understand that loss does not only arrive with death. It can enter our lives through a life-changing diagnosis, a devastating injury, or any number of experiences that alter the world we once knew. Only the person living that loss has the right to measure the depth of its impact.
Lived experience is powerful. No book can fully explain what it feels like to care for a loved one with a life-limiting illness or to walk beside a child facing a life-threatening disease. Those who have spent nights lying awake when grief is the loudest when it feels like the rest of the world is asleep know that sometimes what we need most is not someone to fix it, but someone who simply understands. Someone who has walked their own path through loss and can sit with us in that space as a peer.
