Medium: Digital Care Kit for Grieving

by lwhisselfenton | Nov 17, 2022 | Medium, What's New

I’ve spent the past several years creating Speaking Grief, a learning resource that works to create a more grief-aware society. As part of the making of this project, I’ve read dozens of books, listened to many hours of podcasts, watched loads of videos, interviewed dozens of grieving people from across the country, and talked with some of the leading professionals in this field. Because of this, I’ve ended up with a sort of mental rolodex of resources related to grief. In an effort to, hopefully, spare you some of the mental burden of searching for this stuff, I consolidated some of my favorite content and shared it in this Medium piece.
