We ALL have a story...
Behind The AFTER Company is me. My story is much like yours: I lost someone I loved more than life and it was the darkest time of my life. My family and I suffered the sudden loss of my brother, Daniel in 2014. I was met by very loud silence and an array of flowers that I only envisioned dying and knew I wanted to do something bigger. Something that would help people talk AND think about grief.
AFTER’s hope, my dream, is to provide grievers with something that is thoughtful, memorable and helpful. Grief is unique to each and every person but under all grief is love and light – which is why we think of AFTER as Grief’s Illumination.
I offer you Love and Light, always. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my story.
Together, let’s illuminate grief.
You, or someone close to you, is grieving.
Death comes. Often without warning. Or we sense it and are given a bit of time to find our way to meet it. No matter the nature of death, suddenly we are bereft and flailing.
We’ve been where you are. Grief is painfully hard and so mysterious. Though we each experience it, the human journey through grief manifests with infinite variety. Each person’s experience is as unique as one’s own heart. How one finds a tender way through, greatly depends upon what support surrounds the griever. Our products are created as aids to ease a most profound pain–the pain of feeling suddenly alone.
AFTER. Within the hot blaze of grief as it comes, a path unfolds. Let us take your hand and help you along.
AFTER lends a hand when a tragedy fractures a life in two - the life before and the life after.
This is the perfect gift when someone you love is grieving and you just don’t want to give them flowers that die. There’s something so soothing about lighting a candle, especially one with this lovely aroma. Lighting a candle for someone you lost is very healing, and a great way to remember the moments with them. There’s nothing else out there like this, and I’m so happy this exists! - Alicia B
