National Grief Awareness Week 2020

National Grief Awareness Week takes place for the second time in the UK from 2nd December to 8th December.

It is driven by The Good Grief Trust, whose vision is to bring together all of the different bereavement services together from around the UK in order to help those who are grieving access the support they need.

The aim of National Grief Awareness Week is to try to normalise grief, and get people talking about it on a national platform.

This year’s campaign message is #SHAREYOURSTORY which aims to break down the walls around the taboo subject of grief by asking people to share their experiences over social media.

There is a taboo when it comes to grief and those who suffer it, causing a lot of people to suffer in silence. The Good Grief Trust is trying to change that, to allow people to seek the help they need when dealing with bereavement.

Everyone deals with bereavement differently, and it's become the norm to hide any suffering and put on a happy face. National Grief Awareness Week aims to encourage people to deal with their grief in a more healthy way, by seeking help and talking to people about how they feel, and about the person they have lost.

Events are being held across the country to raise awareness, visit the National Grief Awareness Events page to see if there are any near you.
