National Grief Week
2 upcoming events
The events aim to start conversations about a topic that is all too often ignored or sidestepped, while improving awareness about grief, offering advice on how to support ourselves or others in the community who are bereaved.
There will be a events and activities for people in our community who are grieving the loss of a loved one, those in the community who are supporting the bereaved; and the general community, who may have never experienced a significant bereavement, but who will at some point, lose a loved one or support someone.

The Art of Grieving is an exhibition of art by people who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Each piece is an individuals personal reflection of grief and bereavement. Artists have used art to share their story or as a means to explore their grief through the creative process. The exhibition aims to use the power of art to illuminate the universal, yet often stigmatised, human experience of grieving, by generating interest, raising awareness and creating conversation. It invites you to reflect on your own experiences of grief and the rituals of grief present in todays society. This event is part of the National Grief Week 2025 and is supported by Geelong Regional Library and Geelong Community Foundation.
