About Normalizing Grief
Normalizing Grief is a people-centered initiative focused on increasing grief literacy, reducing stigma, and creating spaces where grief can exist without apology. Through education, conversation, advocacy, and support, we aim to remind people that grief is a natural part of life and that no one should have to navigate it alone.
