Conversations and Media
Exploring grief, transformation, and the evolving conversation around connection after loss.
Tragic to Magic began as a deeply personal story following three mothers navigating the loss of their children.
What emerged is something larger: a growing, largely unspoken reality that many grieving people report ongoing experiences of connection - while often feeling they have nowhere to talk about them.
Through media, conversations, and community gatherings, creator Amber Briscoe is helping open a broader dialogue around grief, meaning, and what healing can look like when traditional frameworks fall short.
Suggested Conversations
What happens after loss — beyond traditional grief narratives
Why grieving parents often feel underserved or isolated

The hidden experiences many bereaved people don’t discuss publicly

Building Tragic to Magic: from personal story to cultural conversation
Why This Conversation Matters
Grief is universal but its impact is often misunderstood and under-supported.
Youth and adolescent mortality rose 20% between 2019-2020 and is continuing to rise, leaving more families navigating sudden and traumatic loss
The death of a child creates a profound ripple effect across parents, siblings, and entire communities
Bereaved parents have been shown to have up to a 2–3x increased risk of mortality in the years following the loss of a child
Many report feeling isolated, as traditional grief models often fail to reflect the reality of their lived experience
A cultural shift is underway — as more people begin to speak openly about experiences that have long remained private or unspoken, finding connection, community, and new pathways for healing.
