| National Grief Awareness Day is dedicated to raising awareness of
the myriad ways in which individuals cope with loss. It offers resources to
those going through personal losses
and reminds us to support people we know who are grieving. National Grief Awareness Day, founded by Angie Cartwright in 2014, hopes to encourage open communication on loss and bereavement and better inform the public on the facts of grief. |
