Why Have A Grief Awareness Day?
We don't need anyone to remind us to grieve. We grieve anyway. This is not what this day will be about. We have awareness days for many things and situations. This day will be for educating our society about the cliches and myths of grief. To open the dialogue and start a conversation. Grieving is not talked about a lot. People do not "get over" a loved one nor "move on" for example. Those are two cliches said to thousands of grievers all over our world everyday. Many grieves live in silence. We want to bring grief awareness into our schools, mental health,work,and home.
