Are you a grieving?

Do you have something to say?

Submit your original work in consideration to have your work published.

Teens… Young adults… Adults trying to adult…

I wanna hear from you.

I want to give you the space to be heard on the stuff that matters. Grief matters, and the loss you have experienced changed your life.

I started Grieving It because I wanted every child and teen to know that they are not alone on their grief journey. My dad died when I was 8 years old, and I am convinced that the 10 years after that were the hardest. Being a teenager is hard, without grieving, right? Too bad we don’t know about it (dark joke).

So look this is what I want to do… I want to create a book that includes your story, a book written for teenagers by teenagers. A book written for this population of young adults.

I want to hear your story, I encourage you to express yourselves in the way that feels most true to you. Not only for you, but for another grieving person that needs to hear your story, journey, or how you keep pushing.

Are you interested?

Alright, let’s get to work! See more information below.
