For Grace’s Share Your Story Project

Together, We Heal…

If you are a Woman In Pain, we invite you to send us your story (400-600 words) and we’ll add it below. Note: We reserve the right to edit or refuse a submission.

Here are the types of stories we welcome you to submit:

1. Women In Pain, we are specifically looking for stories that detail lack of diagnoses, under-treatment and/or health care provider abuse related to your gender.
2. If you’re a woman or man who’s cancer and pain have intersected (i.e., the inflammation from chronic pain contributed to you developing cancer or cancer treatment left you with chronic pain), we’d love to hear from you.
3. For women and men who have experienced generational, early childhood or adult-onset trauma or any combination of these, please submit a story that highlights how the trauma brought on or adversely affected your chronic pain.
4. Women In Pain, if you’ve experienced significant isolation and/or loneliness due to your chronic pain, please share your story. Additionally, if this applies, share any successful methods you’ve used to overcome being cut-off. This ask also applies to family caregivers of women in pain.
5. If you’re a Woman In Pain who has a compelling comeback story, one where you’ve shaken off the darkness of chronic pain and moved to a thriving and fulfilling new life, we’d love to hear how you did it. By sharing your story of redemption, you’ll inspire others to take their own healing journey. We’re highlighting these stories in 2026.

Be sure to tell us your name, as well as your city, state and country. Feel free to attach a photo of yourself. Also, if you’re interested in sharing your story with the media, please include your contact number (this number will not be posted publicly).
