Share Your Sepsis Story

Sepsis Survivors

Have you or a loved one survived sepsis? Your story can inspire hope and raise awareness in others who may face the same journey.

The SSC Sepsis Survivors series highlights personal experiences with sepsis: how it began, what you went through, and how life has changed since. Every story is unique. By sharing yours, you can bring attention to the importance of early recognition and help other survivors know they are not alone.

The SSC is especially interested in:

• How your sepsis journey began
• What helped you through recovery (family, care teams, small daily victories)
• Lasting lessons, mottos, or hopes you want to share with others

Stories may be featured on the SSC website, newsletters, and social media. Submissions should be limited to 300-500 words and may include photos. Please share only what you are comfortable with. If you would like to share a longer story, please reach out to ssc@sccm.org.

Stories may be featured on the SSC website, newsletters, and social media. Submissions should be limited to 300-500 words and may include photos.
