"I have imagined hugging my mother again, and sometimes I think I would even settle with only receiving an urn with her ashes".

Three days of multilingual sessions tackled the most critical challenges faced by families around the world (how to make the issue visible, and advocate for their needs, how to search for their loved ones and associated risks and how to live through the multifaceted needs families face when a loved one goes missing (emotional support needs, but also economic, administrative and memorialization needs).
