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.

Specifically, our mission is to promote grief education, exploration, and expression in both practical and creative ways. Offering: resources related to understanding and coping with grief and loss; guidance on how to help a grieving friend or family member, online courses; resources, education, and training; a podcast about grief; and a supportive community.

If your life has exploded into a million little bits, you don’t need platitudes. You don’t need cheerleading. You don’t need to be told this all happened for a reason.

Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.
