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 looking for stories that detail lack of diagnoses, under-treatment and/or health care provider abuse related to your gender.
2. 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 and/or adversely affected your chronic pain.
3. 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 on to a thriving and fulfilling 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.
4. For 2027, we’re seeking stories that speak to the connection between chronic pain and dementia (research shows a higher incidence of women in pain developing dementia due to inflammation, loss of brain mass, trauma background, medications. etc.) If you’re a Women In Pain who’s also challenged with dementia, have a family history or are taking precautions to avoid the onset thereof, we’d love to hear from you.

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).

Please submit your story, photo and information to forgracewip@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance!
