Día de los Muertos
A Mexican tradition celebrating remembrance and the continued bond with the dead, rather than mourning alone.
Grief is not a place you leave.
It is a place you inhabit.
Grief can come in waves, shifting, unpredictable, sometimes overwhelming. This is a place to find your footing.
Here, we honour what stays, the love.

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.

The Imagine challenge.
iloveboobies.co.za · imagine challenge 2026
This October, ILoveBoobies hosts the Imagine Challenge 2026 — the seventh year of their biggest fundraiser. It is a month-long virtual movement challenge: walk, run, hike, swim, cycle, dance or lift your way through your chosen distance, wherever you are in the world.
Every entry funds one free breast health screening for a woman in an underserved community. Choose a classic distance — 60km on foot, 300km by bike, 10km in the water, or 20 hours of movement — and once you reach it, the Ultra Challenge unlocks. There are no podiums and no medals: everyone who keeps moving has an equal chance at the sponsor prizes, and every entry funds a screening.
Move through October. Fund a screening.

Not Another Grief Podcast.
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.
