ABOUT SAGE AND THE JOURNEY OF GRIEF

A journey of childhood grief and loss.

Until her mum passed away, grief was as foreign to Sage as the countries she travelled to. With her faithful dog Snowy by her side, Sage explores and experiences the stages of grief. Joined by her dad, Sage navigates the winding road of loss with her butterfly-covered journal. As her dad would say, “There’s no right way to grieve”. He’s there to help her navigate it in her own space and time. Sage quickly learns she’s not alone in losing someone she loves. Between school, soccer and grief, life is a balancing act. She’s unsure how to tackle everything at once, but the journey is unfolding one page at a time.
