Invitation to a community writing project: Community Building and the Loss of a Child

Welcome

Welcome to the sign-up site for the writing project, "Community Building and the Loss of a Child: A community based participatory evaluation of the impact of the loss of a child on a community".

About the Project

Thank you for interest in this community writing project.  Ayrie Mekai Jones Murphy died on September 29th, 2010 at age 4 as a result of complications related to a rare disease.   Although his life was short, his spirit was large and the impact of his life and death appears to be far reaching.   Throughout Ayrie’s four years, we made choices to intentionally create a normal life full of rich and varied experiences and connections despite his rare chronic disease.  This writing project is an attempt at taking a look at community and the loss of a child in all its complexity.
