Desk Research
The first research cycle was focussed on understanding the family as well as the context in which their loss happens. To create a meaningful story out of all this data, I used the VIP method. 
In depth interviews
Since I am an expert by expreince, deisgn fixation on my own story formed a big risk. I decided to interview 9 people who all had exprienced a loss in their direct family.
 Second Iteration
After the interviews and a second cycle of interviews I again boyled everything down to one consicese story. Resulting in the below presented design oppertunities.
