Modern Loss is a place to share the unspeakably taboo, unbelievably hilarious, and unexpectedly beautiful terrain of navigating your life after a death. Beginners welcome. The project grew out of two friends’ separate experiences with sudden loss, and their struggle to find resources that weren’t too clinical, overtly religious, patronising or, frankly, cheesy.

Access diverse personal essays from diverse people who have experienced all kinds of loss, resources such as probating a will and respectfully getting your loved one #off social media, creative ideas for exploring your own loss, links to relevant articles about thriving in the face of grief, news about projects we think you’ll love, lots of ways to connect with other people who just “get” it, events, and more.
