The Grief Project supports LGBTQ+ people who have experienced a loss or bereavement
Please get in touch at [email protected]
Many LGBTQ+ people face a number of additional challenges when it comes to bereavement, in addition to universal experiences of grief, pain and sadness.
These can include:
- LGBTQ+ discrimination
- A failure to acknowledge our relationships
- Estrangement from our families
- Legal and financial issues
- Exclusion from discussions and decisions made by family members and health care professionals.
In the Grief Project, we adopt an inclusive definition of grief; this include
- Grieving the breakdown of a relationship
- The loss of a pet
- Family estrangement
- Terminal diagnoses
Grief Meets
Grief Meets are our monthly informal meetings. The groups explore a particular theme each month, usually using a creative outlet, and are an opportunity to meet with others and explore our grief.
For the latest event updates, please see our events calendar.
