Did you know you can grieve your rare disease?

Join MSU and Lisa Sniderman (award-winning artist Aoede), creator of The Grieving Project who has struggled with a rare autoimmune progressive muscle disease, dermatomyositis, for 13 years while obsessively creating to heal, for an open conversation about creating, forgetting to grieve, and what it even means to grieve a rare illness.

Listen and/or share your own experiences with grief related to your chronic illness, caring for a loved one with chronic illness, or other transformation or loss, provided in a loving, safe, and supportive space.

This event is only on Clubhouse, an audio-only social and networking app for your phone. Join and listen in, and to be a part of the discussion if you choose!

Add this to your calendar for Monday, July 19th, at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT!

Read “I forgot to grieve” by Lisa Sniderman

In this exclusive #MyositisLIFE article, Lisa Sniderman, award-winning artist and creator of The Grieving Project shares her story, “I forgot to grieve.”

Lisa writes – I forgot to put on my own oxygen mask first before attempting to put one on those around me. Writing my memoir, even sharing my story, allowed my analytical mind to process what had happened. But processing is not the same as feeling. And my heart needed to do the same.

Read Lisa’s story, and while you are there, watch Lisa’s “Keep Shining” music video.

The Grieving Project

Lisa Sniderman, the creator of The Grieving Project, realized she forgot to grieve her rare illness and realized that through music, she could reach many others who may have also forgotten to grieve.

“The Grieving Project is a road map to our hearts, an invitation for you to grieve your loss, your change, your unexpected and unwanted transformation, and the inspiration and encouragement you need to awaken, express, rejuvenate, activate, connect, shine and truly thrive!” 50% of proceeds are generously donated by Lisa to MSU.
