Afghanistan has largely been ravaged by war and extremism. It is so heartening to see such an initiative come out from the place. You can donate to them if you want.

The Dark Wind (2016)
Radical Islamist militants attack a village in Iraq where a young Yazidi love couple prepares for marriage. From that moment onwards their lives are turned into a nightmare.
I have not seen this movie, but a friend sent in this suggestion for the blog. She warns that there are scenes of rape, sexual violence, trauma and stigma.Â

Forgiveness
When loss, violence or betrayal test our willingness to forgive — how do we do it anyway? This hour, TED speakers explore the challenges and benefits of forgiving others and ourselves.
Warning: parts of this episode contain graphic descriptions of sexual violence. Listening to this may also make you cry.

Amy Green: A video game to cope with grief.
Amy helped create a video game: That Dragon, Cancer. You can find it here: http://thatdragoncancer.com/ Amy makes it very clear that “Cancer” itself is not a game, but everything is a game to a child. Creating and finishing this game was Amy’s family’s way of healing from the trauma of a child’s death.Â
Notes
Hii! - To the people that submitted stories and then did not want them to be published. It is perfectly fine. I will always respect your wishes. If you would like to open a conversation, click the “Ask me Anything” link.
- To the people who would like to submit stories anonymously, feel free to use a fake/madeup email address.
- Again, if you’d like to talk, use “Ask me Anything”. If you’d just like to say something and then never look at it again, use “Tell me anything”. That doesn’t allow me to comment/leave a reply on your story.
- Hope this helps! I’ll figure out a better way to handle this soon! Thankyou!

Grief is a Journey - Dr. Kenneth J. Doka
Personally, I haven’t read this book. However, i did read an excerpt here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/different-kinds-of-grief_us_572110f1e4b0f309baef8596?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063
In the excerpt, the author talks about 3 types of grief nobody talks about:
1. The Loss of a Person We Once Knew 2. The Loss of a Person We Haven’t Yet Lost 3. The Loss of the Person We Used to Be
If you are dealing with any of these, maybe give this book a shot.
My Anxious Heart -- Katie CrawfordÂ
She writes, “My Anxious Heart explores and identifies how emotionally and physically depleting general anxiety disorder can be from a personal perspective. As I have carried anxiety for the majority of my life, I’ve chosen to photographically depict this battle and its constant presence. Since it is within my own mind where anxiety is born, I have decided to interpret my roles as both instigator and victim through self portraiture.”

The Weaving Wall -- Curated by AnnaMarie Rose
She writes, “The Weaving Wall is a safe space for members of the community to express their feelings and have an outlet to share their personal stories, weaving them into a living network of support that will grow on this wall throughout the month. This piece is inspired by May’s adaptation of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem in The Secret Life of Bees. May had the empathetic ability to absorb the pain of others across the world, so she would write down the names of people or events that caused her pain and put them into the cracks of a stone wall by the river. This was a therapeutic release of all the troubles bearing down on her. The Weaving Wall invites anyone to participate by writing words of support, concern, trauma, or any other elements of their story, releasing them from behind their mental walls and having the benefit of letting them go with hundreds of others.”

Bo Burnham - Can’t Handle This
Overall, this is an excellent art performance. At the surface level, it just seems like a unique delivery of comedic material. But if you listen closely, there’s a lyric in there that goes, “and laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself.” It was only after I went through the comments that I realized that Bo suffers from depression and anxiety and this was his last show, and the title “Can’t Handle this right now” was meant to be taken literally.
The Leftovers --Â http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2699128
This is a TV show that is ultimately about loss, grief and the depths of absurdity that result from collective trauma. This has made me feel joy, sadness, longing, fear, and hope. If you’re looking for an existential TV experience like no other, you should watch this.

Brave Beginnings -- http://bravebeginnings.ca/
This is Samra Zafar's startup that helps match women who have experienced and/or escaped oppression, abuse and trauma; with mentors and resources to help rebuild their lives.
The Good Wife --Â http://torontolife.com/city/life/forced-marriage-samra-zafar/
This is a heartbreaking and tough read overall. Samra details her ordeals very vividly. But this is a gritty, survival story about domestic violence, physical abuse, toxic relationships, the mother wound, and south asian families’ unhealthy obsession with honor and marriage.
How to be a widow Pt 1 --Â https://medium.com/@genevievegarciademueller/how-to-be-a-widow-7f6952a677cd#.42qjc9iy0
This is the first article in a series by a widow of an alcoholic. This is not an easy read, and will most likely make you sad. If you do decide to read it, you will find that it is a brutally honest and beautiful series on what a person does to deal with grief.
What is Collective Trauma --Â http://www.aaets.org/article55.htm
This is a great article on Collective Trauma and how Culture is affected by it. This is one of the things that inspired this blog, and I hope it provides you with a better understanding of collective trauma and its devastating effects on just the individual but entire communities.
You can get PTSD from your ancestors. --Â http://www.teenvogue.com/story/slavery-trauma-inherited-genetics
“Her research has revealed that when people experience trauma, it changes their genes in a very specific and noticeable way, so when those people have children and their genes are passed down to their children, the children also inherit the genes affected by trauma.”

Designer Federico Babina’s expression of mental illnesses as architecture. The lovely music composition is by Elisabet Raspall.
Elliot Moss - Without the Lights
This is a powerful music video depicting sexual abuse, domestic violence and how difficult it can be to escape. It is an unusual medium to talk about these issues, but this is done masterfully.
