Grief Resources
Good Grief provides unlimited and free support to children, teens, young adults, and families after the death of someone significant in their lives through peer support programs, education, and advocacy. Good Grief aims to build resilience, strengthen families, and empower communities to grow from loss and adversity. Their programs equip grieving families with the support and tools they need to face their grief by developing healthy coping skills, provide a caring environment to process feelings and fears, and create a sense of hopefulness during a very difficult and uncertain time.
Speaking Grief explores the transformative experience of losing a family member in a death- and grief-avoidant society. This national public media initiative includes a one-hour television documentary, media-rich website, social media campaign, and numerous community engagement events, all aimed at starting a national conversation about grief.
Moving away from the idea that grief is a problem that needs to be “fixed,” Speaking Grief validates the experience of grievers and guides those wishing to support them. There is no “right” way to grieve. By sharing diverse representations of bereavement, Speaking Grief illustrates that grief is a universal, yet individual experience.
