Free grief resources
Grief and loss information to download, print and share.
Griefline is committed to providing free grief support and information to all Australians. As part of this commitment, we are building a digital library of fact sheets and resources covering a variety of topics. These resources are designed to be easy to understand and beneficial to a wide range of people in the community.
Translated resources
Griefline recognises the linguistic diversity of Australia, where the 2016 Census (Australian Bureau of Statistics) reported that 21% of the population speaks a language other than English at home. To support this diversity, Griefline is proud to be a content partner of Health Translations, an online library offering multilingual health resources for health professionals and the wider community.
As a content partner, Griefline contributes to Health Translations’ extensive collection, which includes over 30,000 up-to-date health and wellbeing resources in more than 130 languages. This partnership ensures that culturally and linguistically diverse communities receive the support they need, making vital information more accessible.
Coping with grief
Losing a loved one can leave you feeling bereft of ways to cope. This fact sheet offers strategies for supporting yourself through your experience with grief.
Caring for someone who is grieving
Natural disasters and grief
Natural disasters are becoming more common in Australia due to the effects of climate change. This fact sheet provides information for coping with grief after a natural disaster.
Losing a pet
Losing a pet can be just as painful as losing a friend or family member. This fact sheet shares information about how to cope and support yourself through your grief.
Loneliness and grief
A sense of belonging and connectedness is an integral part of a healthy life. This fact sheet provides information about loneliness in Australia, how it is often experienced in conjunction with grief, and coping tips when experiencing loneliness.
Accessibility support
Visitors to the Griefline website can also use Recite Me, an accessibility assistive toolbar located at the top of the page. This tool allows content translation into over 100 languages and supports various accessibility needs, including screen reading, text-to-speech functionality, and text modifications. These features ensure that our resources are accessible to everyone, regardless of their linguistic or physical abilities.
We invite you to explore these free resources and share them widely to support individuals and communities navigating grief and loss.
If you need immediate support call Lifeline 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline 1800 551 800
