National Grief Awareness Week
Today has marked the start of National Grief Awareness Week 2025.
This week, The Irish Hospice Foundation will be hosting free online events and running a social media campaign to raise awareness of grief and the supports and services available for those who feel they would benefit from additional support.
They we will be hosting two free online events this week:
Lunch & Learn: Grief in the Workplace: Register here
When: 12:30pm – 1:30pm, Tuesday the 28th of January
This is a free online webinar for employees and employers. Many people will be working at the time they experience a bereavement or a significant life loss and require a compassionate and caring response. Having an understanding of grief will help employees understand their own grieving experience but also be more aware of how to support others when grieving.
Living with Loss, A Bereavement Information Evening: - Register here
When: 7pm – 8:30pm, Thursday the 30th of January
This event is for all. You may have experienced a bereavement this year or at an earlier time, or you may be concerned about a child or friend who is grieving and you wish to help. We will provide an online space to share some reflections on bereavement and to help people to find out about the supports available.
Please feel free to share these events with your friends and colleagues.
