Share Your Grief Story Project and more

River's Fog

We don't have a guest today, but rather Andrea is sharing more about a project and letters we have already received! ***Disclaimer: This episode is for adults only. People have provided a gift by sharing their grief journeys around the holidays including life after having an affair, being a nurse during the pandemic and living with a functional alcoholic. Share Your Grief Story Project (anonymously) Brought to you by What Matters Most? Evansville, Inc. Project Goal: Create more opportunities for people to share their grief stories to promote greater healing, benefiting both individuals and the community. Who: Everyone is invited because everyone has a story to share (regardless of where you live) When: This project will remain active with no plans to stop Why: Research shows grief heals more wholly when it is witnessed and shared in some context, even anonymously. This is particularly important to our organization to offer our community. We know there are some grief stories this may be the only way it is heard. How to Participate: Mail in your grief story anonymously to: What Matters Most? Evansville, IN, Po Box 112, Elberfeld, IN 47613 ***Disclaimer: By sharing your story you are giving WMM?E permission to share the entirety/parts of your story with others, anonymously- for example on it’s River’s Fog podcast, social media, and research purposes. Grief is a complex emotion, encompassing all forms and types of loss, not just a death. This includes, but is not limited to a loss in relationships, loss of needed support, losing parts of your health, future hopes, and so so so much more. Happy Holidays yall!
