Grief Loss & Recovery is a collaboration of three women—Linda Davis of North Carolina, Brenda Penepent of Arkansas, and Joanne Glasspoole of Wisconsin. Linda and Brenda both moderated GLR's discussion forum for many years and have contributed numerous poems and memoirs to the website. As for Joanne,

This is my pet project and a testament to my father. It is my grief ministry, and it is my way of helping others through a difficult time.

Since its launch in 2001, Grief Loss & Recovery has undergone many transformations. But one thing has never changed—the beautiful writings contributed by people just like you who have suffered a terrible loss.
