In 2017 we unexpectedly lost our one-year-old daughter due to an undiagnosed heart defect. In an effort to ensure strong communication with each other, we started a journal. We never realized that those notes would end up becoming an enormously helpful resource for supporting others through tragedy. After helping many grieving people through personal interactions, we have decided to expand our reach and create a platform.
Our goal is to create a safe space for people who are working through unimaginable loss. It is not about offering all the answers, but rather the comfort of friends who have been down a similar path and can provide empathy and encouragement.
When awful things happen to you or people you care about, often nobody knows what to say. We want to help stand in that gap!
