“Grief…is an act of protest that declares our refusal to live numb and small.”
Francis Weller
When you tell the story of your grief, you may find that it is now no longer the burden it once was. There may even be a kind of release as others listen to how you have grappled with all the confused emotions that accompany grief, especially the kind that follows an untimely or unnatural death. At the same time you will also be giving others permission to tell of their loss. There are benefits to everyone in hearing stories of grief.
The stories on this page have been entrusted to us by families in the USA and Mexico as we travelled across the continent filming for the documentary A LOVE THAT NEVER DIES.
Thanks to everyone who opened their hearts to us.
“We believe that in telling our story of trauma or loss we help ourselves to more fully acknowledge that loss and to bring the reality more into the centre of our lives.”
Jimmy Edmonds (Josh’s Dad)
