On the Museum

The museum provides a safe space for contributors to tell their story of loss, share it in a cathartic way, and allow for release and healing. By reading the stories and viewing the exhibits, visitors will recognise shared emotions and experience a sense of release of their own. Visitors will also recognise that they are not alone in dealing with problems associated with loss.

Share your story
of lost love.

Stories of loss are very emotional to the contributor, therefore each story will be treated with the respect it deserves. All names and localities will be removed. Only the general location, e.g. Ireland and the year the relationship took place, e.g. 1990 — 1994 will be printed.
