Grief can come in waves, shifting, unpredictable, sometimes overwhelming. This is a place to find your footing.
Here, we honour what stays, the love.
a note kept in the album
The foundation was born in honour of Erin, who we lost in May 2024. We believe that grief is not something to be moved past, but something to be lived alongside, and that what stays, always, is love.

reasonstostay.org · suicide prevention awareness month
This September, for Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we want to point you toward Reasons to Stay, a gentle website that gathers the small, ordinary, luminous things people say are worth staying alive for.
If today feels heavy, or if someone you love is carrying something too big for one set of hands, spend a few quiet minutes there. You might recognise your own reason in someone else’s.
Stay. The story isn’t over.
this month
Today · September
A month to break the silence around suicide, to speak gently, listen closely, and remember those we have lost, while standing with those left behind. September holds space for the conversations that save lives, for the people who carry on after a loss to suicide, and for the quiet hope that no one has to face this alone.

Real conversations about grief. Without the script.
We’re creating a podcast about grief as it is actually lived — complicated, messy, ordinary, devastating, funny, lonely, loving and sometimes all of those things at once.
We’ll talk with grieving people, counsellors, researchers, authors and others who work alongside loss about everything from continuing bonds, traumatic and sudden loss, parenting through grief and supporting someone who is grieving, to friendship, relationships, identity, memory, anger, guilt, finding meaning and learning to live with what cannot be fixed.
And sometimes, we’ll simply talk about the things people don’t seem to talk about enough.
have something to say?
We want grieving voices to be part of these conversations.
If you have lived experience, a perspective you think deserves more space, professional knowledge to share, or simply a grief story you think someone else might need to hear, we’d love to hear from you.
I’d like to be featuredYou don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to have the right words. You just need to be willing to have an honest conversation.
