MyGriefAssist is a place where you will find a broad range of helpful information on loss and grief. Coping with grief can be a daunting, difficult time in anyone's life. Whether you're looking to support someone you know or if you need help for yourself, you'll find something valuable here.
Grief is a very natural and normal reaction which we go through whenever our lives are challenged by change, loss or death. Yet something so natural as grief is often not well understood in our society. This means people’s needs are often misunderstood leaving them feeling anxious, hurt and alone.
This website aims to bring you practical, contemporary information in the form of easy to read factsheets, book lists, videos and links to grief related support services.
For something a little different we have created our inspirations – postcards, quotes, songs and movie titles – all themed around loss and grief, growth and new beginnings. We regularly add new material, information and updates.
