GRIEF TRACKS
Utilizing our ever-growing social media followers, I led the creation of Grief Tracks - Spotify playlists presented by the Highmark Caring Place. the first playlist we created was Songs That Inspire Hope: Disney Edition. This is a playlist of Disney songs that inspire HOPE for those who are grieving. Playlist selections were submitted by our social media community and staff of the Highmark Caring Place.
Since this first playlist, we have created six other Grief Tracks playlists - using this exercise in our peer support groups and as a way to continuously engage/support our social media community. This year, we even created our first-ever Children’s Grief Awareness Day Grief Tracks playlist Pause to Listen: Beats of Support. This is a playlist filled with songs that make you feel supported and/or reminds you of your loved one who has died. Playlist selections were submitted via the Children's Grief Awareness Day social media community.
This project was also presented to grief centers from all over the country, as part of the National Alliance for Children’s Grief’s 2023 Symposium.
The work you see here are some of my favorite pieces of work from this initiative.
