Music has long been a sanctuary for both artists and listeners—a place to process emotions too complex for words alone. For many artists, writing about personal loss is a form of catharsis, a way to navigate grief, and, in turn, their songs become vessels that help others do the same.
A Formal Introduction: Hi, I'm Jill
I’m Jill, a professional griever. When I was 16 months old, my biological father left me and my 24-year-old mother for the day, took his small aircraft up over our family ranch, crashed and was killed. From that day on my life was forever altered. I spent my entire childhood and young adulthood grieving, healing, questioning, grieving, and healing some more.
