It's Chris' birthday on Thursday, September 14th. As a way to remember him and/or someone you lost consider donating to "It's ok to talk about grief." Every penny will go towards printing and distributing Buttons and the Butterfly and its associated activity book to grieving children and their families. When donations come in, they'll go directly into a print order, and then I'll distribute the books.
When we are grieving, ourselves, it can be hard to talk about another's loss and their feelings. Everyone I talk to about grief tells me a story about themselves or someone they know who suffered a loss and couldn't talk about it, for whatever reason. Often the reason is that we just don't have the words - we just can't find them. These little books might help to start very difficult but important conversations.
I chose a GoFundMe rather than a time-limited crowdfunding type like Kickstarter because this project is an ongoing endeavor. "It's OK to talk about grief" will be here for the times you miss the one you love and wish they were here and that you had a way to formally remember them. I hope that perhaps donating to this cause, or another one, and knowing that you are helping others who grieve their loved ones too will be of some comfort to you.
Thank you so much!
