Big feelings & harder seasons

“What's something they've grieved — a loss of any kind — and how did they carry it?”

Why this question

A person, a pet, a friendship, a phase of life ending. Their particular way of grieving.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
  • ·Record it on an ordinary day — the background noise of your kitchen is part of the keepsake.
