A young boy who lost his mother wrote her a letter and put it on her grave. Over time, he retrieved it for safekeeping and placed it in a box for over 30 years.

In this first episode of the Loss Library podcast, host Garrett Drew Ellis opens the letter he wrote to his mother so long ago. This episode is the first of many telling stories of grief, loss and resiliency in the face of bereavement. Listen as Garrett shares his story and talks about not only the need for coping mechanisms as a person grieves, but for spaces like the Loss Library to exist, so that all people can mourn, grow and both find and offer, encouragement.
