Welcome to me too. We started this organization after suffering the biggest loss of our lives – the sudden and tragic death of our father, our hero, Steven.
When it happened, the only people we wanted to talk to were others our age who had also lost a parent. We were certain that they would be the only ones who could possibly comprehend the pain we felt. We had lost our blood, half of our soul.
And our mom was only 49. Still wearing her wedding ring, people ask her about her husband all of the time – what he does for a living, or how long she’s been married. Sometimes it’s the littlest things that get you. Those simple questions have the most complicated answers.
The thing is, although we all understand and can empathize with the intensity of the pain; we can’t know it completely. Our mom can’t understand how we feel having lost our father. And we cannot begin to fathom a longing stronger than what our mom must feel for our dad, her soulmate.
And hence, ‘me too bracelets – a support group in a bead’ was born. Our mission is to unite people who have experienced a great loss by helping them to identify one another. At the same time, me too will give those who haven’t experienced a great loss a means of knowing and a gentle reminder of the factors in play in one’s life.
Each bead represents the loss suffered. Blue for a father, red for a husband, pink for a daughter (click on Bracelets for a complete listing). Please check back for new developments with our children's line of bracelets.
Thank you for supporting our mission and please look around to learn more about us.
We were recently a part of the new Discovery Channel tv show called NOW, No Opportunity Wasted. To learn more about our story, click here
Feel free to contact us with questions, or even just to say, me too.
Best, Christiane, Stephanie and Sarah
