Abstract
Although grief has negative aspects, positive outcomes after loss, known as post-traumatic growth provide hope. This story quilt visually represents loss and all its negative aspects, but additionally demonstrates recovery and the hope, that people transcend their loss and grow, even after traumatic loss.
