Storytelling project about death, grief and recovery

Hi everyone,

My name is Simone Goldsmith. I'm 23 years old and from Australia but am currently living in the US. 

I'm in the process of launching a storytelling project called Our New Lives. It aims to provide inspiration, information and comfort to young people who have lost a loved one. By offering interesting yet honest discussion, it aims to help break the silence on death, grief and recovery. 

My inspiration for this project stemmed from the death of my gorgeous older sister two years ago. Alana tragically took her life at the young age of 23, after battling anorexia for nearly a decade.

I'm looking for people to share their personal stories on Our New Lives' website. If you are interested in contributing, please contact me at info.ournewlives@gmail.com.

Please also check out and share the Facebook page among anyone who may be interested in supporting this movement.

Thank you so much, and big hugs to all of you,
Simone

Hello Simone

 I am so sorry for your loss. One book that I have found amazingly right on and would be great to recommend on your website is called "Tear Soup". Beautifully illustrarted as well and the pictures tell a thousand words. Good luck

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

"Professional help gives you a safe space to talk, understand your emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope. It can make grief feel less overwhelming and easier to manage over time. https://www.ambrosiatc.com"

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
