Grief Talks

Hit 💜 if you relate to this at all.

We like to describe grief like putting on a new pair of glasses. At first, our grief distorts our vision, making things blurry and challenging. We feel a bit wobbly and it taints our view and experience. However, with time, patience and integration, the new glasses allow us to focus on things we may never have noticed before. It gives us a clearer perspective, filtering out the stuff that doesn't matter and zooming in on what does.

Whether your glasses are currently blurred or crystal clear, there's no doubt that grief it changes the way you see the world.

Throw back to last year when we hosted a Dying to Know day event in partnership with , bringing community together to explore grief and loss in all it's forms. This year, you'll find us talking on a panel at all about the power of creating connections.

Dying to Know day is an annual campaign that aims to break the stigma of talking about death, dying and grief. This years theme is 'personalising end of life wishes and creating connections' with hundreds of free events available across Australia.

Connection has been an integral part in navigating our grief for everyone here at Grief Talks and we hope that through our resources, you're able to find connections that support your grief, too.

For all things personal wishes, we are so grateful to our friends over at for doing incredible work to make it easier for you to document your end of life wishes securely and with simplicity. Check them out!

Because it's not just a tick box.

People most commonly know grief to be an experience following a death, but there are many things that we can grieve for. Some of these may be a primary loss, some of them may be a secondary loss. Whatever it is you're grieving, every experience is valid.
