Help Bring Tragic to Magic to Life — Turning Pain to Purpose

I’m Amber Briscoe — a mom, producer, and storyteller who spent years working in television and documentary before moving into advertising, helping others tell their stories.

I never imagined I’d be telling this one.

When my 18-year-old son, Jagger, died suddenly, my world stopped. The silence in our home was unbearable — until the signs began. Lights flickering. Songs at the perfect moment. Messages that felt impossible to ignore.

In my search for meaning, I met two other mothers — Sarah, who lost her son Elijah to murder, and Amy, whose son McKellar completed suicide after a long struggle with mental health.
Three mothers. Three boys.
Different stories, the same unbreakable love.

Together, we began documenting what was happening — the signs, the synchronicities, the way love kept showing up long after our sons were gone. That’s how Tragic to Magic was born.

It’s a film about grief, yes — but more than that, it’s about awakening. About discovering that love doesn’t end when a life does.

Now, this message of hope is being featured by a national TV newsmagazine, offering a chance to reach millions of people who are grieving, questioning, or searching for meaning in a chaotic world.

To meet that moment — to finish the film and share this story of transformation — we need your help.

If you’ve ever loved someone so deeply that the thought of losing them took your breath away, this story is for you.

Your donation doesn’t just help complete a film.
It helps bring light, connection, and comfort to families everywhere who need to know: love never dies.

Love,
Amber & Jagger
