AT THE THRESHOLD OF LIFE FOUNDATION
STORIES
A LIFE IS MORE THAN THE MOMENT IT ENDED.
Some stories begin with a photograph.
Some with a name.
Some with a memory nobody else knows.
Some with the sentence:
“I never got to say goodbye.”
Some are still unfinished.
ATTOL makes room for real stories shared with permission and without forcing them into happy endings.
BEHOLD STORIES
Photographs, hands, memories and continuing love.
THE SILENT VOICE
Stories that may otherwise remain unheard.
REMEMBER THEIR LIFE
Who were they before the goodbye?
WHAT I STILL CARRY
Words for the things that remain.
Tell Your Story
Begin where you are
Share only what you are ready to share.
You may share a memory, reflection, journal entry, poem, testimony, interview, family tradition, question, or part of your lived experience. You may also come only to listen until you are ready—or decide not to share at all.
Storytelling can help us recognize what shaped us, find language for what we carry, preserve joy and traditions, understand relationships, and connect one person’s experience with a larger human story.
You might begin by asking: What shaped me? What did I need? What did I receive? What did I miss? What brought me joy? What do I still carry? What needs an opportunity to heal? What deserves to be preserved and passed forward?
Someone else’s story helped me recognize mine. Now I want to help someone else recognize theirs.— Darlynn Faucet
Ways to participate
Your story can take many forms.
Share with the community
Offer a memory, reflection, testimony, family tradition, or piece of your lived experience when you choose.
Speak or create
Participate through conversation, interviews, art, audio, video, or another form that feels true to you.
Listen and recognize
You may come to listen, learn, connect, or recognize part of yourself through someone else’s story.
Privacy, permission, and choice
Your story remains yours.
A submission will not automatically be published, used in a book, shared in media, or identified publicly.
Permission, intended use, privacy, and how you wish to be named must be discussed before anything moves beyond the space in which it was shared. You may choose to remain private, anonymous, identified, or withdraw from further consideration before publication permission is given.
