Grief is not just related to death - we grieve over the losses we experience every day. Many of these losses are undervalued or marginalized by society and therefore suppor is not readily available to those in need. Losses such as infertility, organ donation, generational grief, pet loss or life limiting illnesses are some of the many examples of grief that are less evident, but still need to be mourned. “I’m Grieving Too!” will focus on all aspects of loss and grief where supports and rituals are not easily available and that may lead to carried or accumulative grief.
