Normalising discussions about healing from grief

At the heart of every community lies a shared experience, one that transcends culture, age and background: the experience of loss and grief. Yet, despite its universality, discussions surrounding grief often remain shrouded in stigma and silence.

Here at Griefline, we believe it’s time to change the narrative. We are embarking on a journey of courageous conversations, engaging with leaders, organistions, and communities to normalise discussions about loss and grief. Through their stories, we aim to illuminate the human experience, fostering empathy and understanding while reducing stigma associated with grief.

Want to have a courageous conversation with us?

We would love to hear your story.
