Join Pathlight. Become A Part of Something Bigger.
This isn’t just a list of grief resources.
It’s a space shaped by young people, for young people—where you can share, create, and feel less alone.
Through stories, art, letters, and honest messages, we help each other feel seen and understood.
This is The Pathlight Project, a space for:
Expression – Share your grief through words, art, or photos.
Reflection – Try tools that help you understand your feelings.
Community – Learn from others and find your own way through.
Get Involved. Make It Matter.
Pathlight is a space that grows with every story, photo, message, and moment shared.
Whether you join a workshop, create something, or just explore, you're part of something meaningful.
When you share, you’re not just helping yourself—you’re helping someone else feel seen and less alone.
“Being able to use all that happened to me to have a positive impact, to redefine it and turn it into a source of good instead of leaving a painful scar.” – Workshop Participant
Every voice adds to the compassion, creativity, and connection we’re building together.
Scroll down to find what feels right—or Get in Touch to share an idea of your own.
We’re creating a digital gallery—a gentle online space where young people can anonymously share honest letters to the adults in their lives (like parents, teachers, carers, or friends).
These letters help adults understand what really supports a grieving young person—and what doesn’t.
Want to share your experience?
You might write about…
-
What you wish adults understood about grief
-
What’s helped—and what’s hurt
-
The kind of support that feels good (and what to avoid)
-
How schools and teachers could do better
-
Anything you’ve been holding in and want to say
How to take part:
Start your letter with:
“Dear Parent/Caregiver, when I’m grieving, I wish you knew…”
Then submit it anonymously to be shared in our digital gallery.
We’ll be moderating for kindness and safety.
Grief can feel heavy, but even in the hardest moments, something—an object, a place, a memory—can remind you of your strength.
Share a photo that represents resilience or hope for you. It could be a peaceful place, something beautiful in nature, or a reminder of your loved one. Whatever it is, it’s your story—we’d love to see it.
Why Share?
-
It’s Powerful
A photo can express what words sometimes can’t. It shows the strength you carry, even when it feels hard to find. -
It’s Inspiring
Your photo could remind someone they’re not alone. It might be exactly what someone else needs to see. -
It’s Creative
Grief isn’t just words. It can be captured in images, art, or moments that help you process and share in your own way.
How to Participate?
-
Choose a photo that means something to you—maybe it represents strength, peace, or a moment that brought you hope.
-
Share it with us and tell us why it’s meaningful. We’d love to hear your story.
-
We hope to create a gallery where others can see and connect through shared experiences.
I’ve Been There Too -
Message to Another Young Person
Sometimes the most powerful support comes from someone who’s lived it too.
This space is for short, heartfelt messages—written, spoken or filmed—from one grieving young person to another. Messages that say: “I get it. I see you. You’re not alone.”
You don’t need perfect words. Just honesty, care, and a bit of courage.
Why Share?
Because your experience, however messy or unfinished, might bring someone else a moment of comfort, connection, or calm. Because it’s powerful to know your story can reach someone else, right when they need it.
How to Participate?
Share a short message (text, audio, poem, or video). You can stay anonymous if you’d like.
The messages will live in our digital gallery, with an option to be heard out loud by others.
We’ll be moderating for kindness and safety.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, please take care of yourself first. For more information and support, check out our Safety Guidelines.
Your privacy matters to us. You can read our Privacy Policy to see how we protect your information.
This is just the beginning
We’re growing something together—and it won’t stop here.
Soon, there’ll be even more ways to express your grief, share what matters to you,
and support others along the way.
This space will keep evolving, and your voice is a big part of that.
Thanks for being here. It means more than you know.
