My name is Caya Erickson (pictured above, middle front row) and while this website is going to be around long after I graduate, I initially created this in part of my senior project.

In high school I began experiencing chronic pain that stopped me from doing many of the things that I loved. I didn't know it at the time but I was grieving my past self and what the future could have looked like had I not had a chronic pain disorder. 

I know first hand that learning about a disability can be hard, and I want to make sure that students at Willamette have access to resources to help them go through the process of grief and learn how to cope effectively.
