THE POSTSCRIPT PROJECT
for everything that comes after
Postscript (ˈpoʊstˌskrɪpt): a note added to a completed letter.
Derived from the Latin word post scriptum, meaning “written after”
The Postscript Project is a public storytelling project that invites anyone navigating grief to record the stories still unfolding.
Here, we gather the updates we’ve longed to share, the questions that linger, the truths we are learning to name, and the milestones marking the path forward.
In every postscript, a life is remembered, and a story is carried forward.
Who Can Submit?
The Postscript Project welcomes submissions from anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. Whether you lost a parent, child, partner, sibling, friend, or anyone else, your story belongs here.
Postscript Prompts
Below are some ideas if you’d like a little inspiration. There’s no right or wrong way to write, only your way.
An update on your life
A question you’d like to ask
A challenge you’re facing
A decision shaped by their influence
A moment you felt their presence or love
Something you do now to honor them
A hope or intention you’re holding right now
How your view of life has been shaped by their absence
If you’d like to submit multiple postscripts, please number them.
