Grief Gatherings

Save the Date
Grief Gatherings is back for 2025! From September 19 to 28, 2025 we are planning to have lots of activities and events in all of Nova Scotia and, this year, we are hoping to have Gatherings well beyond that one province. Will you join us? Will you host an event? Visit the Grief Gatherings page to learn more and sign up to host an event.

About Us

Grief Matters started in 2023 from a passion project. Our team has grown to include multiple identities, geographies, skills, and experiences. We are: community members, academics, artists, social media experts, Nova Scotians, Ontarians, family members, caregivers, and grievers. We bring together a unique balance of perspectives to think passionately and critically about what grief is and how grief should be integrated into our many communities. We want to keep learning through everything Grief Matters does.
