Building our grief literacy

Navigating grief and the changes that comes with it, can feel overwhelming. It can help to build our grief literacy and become grief-informed by learning about grief so we can recognise it in ourselves and others and learn how to support ourselves and those around us.

There are plenty of websites offering advice and guidance for people who are experiencing grief. We have curated a list of helpful and reputable websites and written and audio-visual resources that provide further guidance to help you understand the unique and variable experience of grief.

This article from the Dougy Center (The National Grief Center for Children and Families) on being Grief-Informed and moving from understanding to action also outlines some core principles about grief and how you can best support those who are grieving.
