Content and Contentment, The Importance of Both in a Life Story. | Jess Dornan Lynas | TEDxStormont

How can one strive to live a life full of meaningful experience whilst coping with devastating grief? And can the pursuit of these goals actually help us find true contentment? Tech entrepreneur and professional speaker Jess Dornan Lynas believes so. After losing her mother to pancreatic cancer at just 19 years old, Jess navigated college, career, break ups, marriage and motherhood, whilst searching for a way to celebrate her own life whilst mourning yet also wanting to celebrate another. Jess Dornan Lynas is the founder of a digital start-up called Afterbook, which enables people to tell the life stories of and build a legacy to a loved one. When Jess was 19 her mum died of pancreatic cancer and the effect that the illness, her mother’s death and the ensuing grief would have on her, would colour and affect her life forever. Twenty-one years later Jess has spent countless hours researching the effects of grief and more importantly how to live well with it and to really celebrate and record life, both lost and very much being lived. @Afterbooklegacy This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
