The passion for My Condolences started as a child growing up in a small town. My grandmother and her childhood friends started a group they officially named, “The Friends." The Friends’ mission was to comfort and support families in their time of bereavement. Whenever there was a death in the community, they would jump into action by ensuring the families did not have to worry about the little details of preparing food, getting supplies, watching the house, or greeting guests – because “The Friends” would handle it. All they wanted the families to do was take care of themselves during those difficult times. The Friends understood the importance of community, caring for others, and empathy. The values they instilled in me shaped the way I view the world.
My Condolences was birthed in 2020 during the global coronavirus pandemic. Watching the news, everyone could see and feel the pain of multitudes around the world left to grieve alone. It was such a helpless feeling. My Condolences was birthed. This time, the feeling of helplessness was driving me. The idea for My Condolences took on a life of its own and things started falling into place very quickly. With new developments in technology, the My Condolences platform goes beyond posting heartfelt sentiments and sending virtual flowers, to live streaming, donating to charity, sharing pictures, videos, and messages, and so much more. I spent every available moment, working on the My Condolences platform. Within one year, I officially launched My Condolences.
It is my hope that My Condolences makes gathering to celebrate the life of your loved one a little easier.
Many blessings to you…
