About Jessica Dore
Offerings is part of a processual research project examining grief, loss, and mourning that is written and produced by social worker and author Jessica Dore. Through both text and audio formats, Offerings reports insights that revolve around two central themes:
The ways significant relational losses—bereavements, break-ups, life-altering diagnoses or chronic health conditions, climate disasters, pandemics—despite all their differences, can illuminate and affirm the relational nature of identity, and how the stories we tell to ourselves and each other about grief, loss, and mourning affect what we go through and what it can all come to mean.
Offerings is entirely reader and listener supported.
