Land acknowledgement

Grief Stories staff, work, and network depend on traditional Indigenous territories to provide us physical space, sustenance, safety, and community to work, live, and play. While our work primarily takes place on a virtual platform, we encourage our team members, visitors, and partners to reflect on colonialism’s enduring legacy and engage in reconciliation meaningfully. We encourage everyone to visit Whose Land and access the Indigenous Ally Toolkit by Dakota Swiftwolfe and https://native-land.ca to further understand the lands on which you reside.

Supporting people in grief

"As a Deaf person, Grief Stories helped me access resources about grief because of the multimedia format. The blog posts and captioning on videos have helped me feel less alone during my grief journey."

- Nicole B.

"Telling my story to an empathetic listener through Grief Stories helped me make sense of the losses in my life, by hearing myself speak about them with strength and understanding."

- David N.

"Grief Stories means a lot to me for a number of reasons but what really stuck with me was the nature as to which the interview was conducted. Being able to share, think about and continue to process the pain that I had thought had passed already and to hear the stories of others going through similar experiences and getting through to a better place was motivation to keep going."

- Sunny R
