Welcome to Curating Grief
Why “Curate” Grief?
Curating is Choosing with Intention.
1. After the death of a loved one or a significant loss, we are often faced with difficult choices. What to keep. Who gets what. What to say or do.
When we’re faced with these situations, we can use curating as a beautiful lens for making these choices.
2. As grieving people, we are facing circumstances outside of our control. Death, loss, illness. It can be very empowering to see the choices that we do have. To see what we do have control over.
3. You are likely already curating. You are choosing what takes up space in your life every day. Physical space and emotional space.
Let’s choose with intention. Let’s Curate Grief.
hi!
I’m Charlene
After my mother died suddenly in 2013, I leaned into my creativity and instincts as a curator to guide myself through grief.
Now I help other people with their grief and experiences of loss. As founder and curator of The Grief Gallery™, I present exhibitions and events about grief and loss. As a certified grief coach, I use my Curating Grief framework to help people process grief and loss in a creative, accessible way.
