On August 20th 2021, I (Jasmine Dunlap) lost two of my best friends Deja Noel and Rella Norey in a car accident after we left a bar partying for Deja‘s Birthday. My heart was extremely broken and I blamed myself. Why? Because I drove separately this day, and wasn't the designated driver like I’ve always been since high school. This particular day I had something to do prior to hanging out that threw my energy off, so I told them I will meet them at the location Deja chose to celebrate her birthday at. Who knew that would be our last memory together once we left the bar.
My version of grief consisted of me searching for a friend that I could get that same level of best friend energy from as I had with Deja, and a friend I could recreate a business plan Rella and I discussed. I start trauma bonding with people and because we had something in common I was trying to recreate the level of friendships I once had. I also was thinking about death so much. I keep thinking “What am I going to do in life to leave my mark if I died tomorrow?” Years went by and I felt like I failed myself and my child. I created no legacy for her to remember me by or benefit from If I lost my life. I was so depressed trying to discover who I was, to feel whole, and my purpose, while also trying to make sure I’m super mom to my daughter. In July 2024 I start researching grief and came across the word PROLONGED GRIEF and realized I had never heard of it yet I identified with it.
Trying to force myself to heal for nearly 2 years, nothing was making me feel like life was worth living until I got the opportunity to play a role in the film City of Vultures 4 in February 2023. While filming those particular scenes I realized how rejuvenated I felt. I did not want to lose that feeling, so I stayed consistent for an entire year to be a full time actress and now it has become a career that I love waking up to.
February 2023 I discovered what makes me feel whole, which led to be discovering my purpose in June 2024, which now I am able to build a table for my child and I.
The impact grief had on my mental led to the creation of Remedyy foundation. The foundation is organized to be a resource that funds a positive outlet to individuals suffering from PGD; Prolonged grief disorder. Our mission is to give individuals the opportunity to plant themselves where they want to flourish.
