In 2019, I experienced one of the most traumatic events anyone can experience... I had to bury a child I helped raise. He was taken from us far, far too soon, at the age of 15. For years, I found myself thinking of all the things I'd say to him about all of the changes in my life, and, while filled with sadness about being unable to share these things with him, an idea formed:

I can't be the only one who has gone through this - what if we all had a void to throw these thoughts into?

I decided to start a blog, to share my thoughts and experiences with the void I felt inside. I wanted to document my journey, to tell someone, something. And so, I began writing. I started writing about the experiences I had, the challenges I faced, and the emotions I felt. I wanted to inspire others to look beyond their own lives and to share these moments within their own proverbial void.

And thus, Words I Never Said was born.

Essentially, this exists for you to do the same - to scream into the proverbial void about the loss you've experienced. I hope this brings you as much peace as building it brought me.
