Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

I am interning at the District Attorney's Victim Witness program located in Eureka California as an advocate. There has been a long standing need for a grief support group for those who have lost a loved one to murder. As a mother of a murdered daughter I understand how important a grief support group becomes for this population. This unique need has become my community project focus and passion for those who've experienced complicated grief related to homicide. Broken Spirits Rising can offer people who are grieving a supportive environment in which to work through their grief when,for many of them there may be few places in their lives in which they can get this support and be themselves
