Gretchen’s Story

This series tells the stories of individuals and families who made the deeply personal decision to leave something behind.

Invited into their homes, they spoke about memory, responsibility and the question of what remains after we are gone.

Each person arrived at that decision differently - shaped by their upbringing, their losses, their gratitude and their hopes for the future.

What emerged were reflections about legacy, belonging and the desire to remain part of a community beyond one’s lifetime.
