National Grief Awareness Week

National Grief Awareness Week is taking place from January 27th until February 2nd 2025. 

During this period, the Irish Hospice Foundation will host online events and will run a social media campaign to raise awareness of grief and the services available for those who feel they would benefit from additional support.

This is the fifth year the Irish Hospice Foundation is running a national grief awareness campaign. Originally hosted in November to coincide with the Good Grief Trust (UK) national campaign, this campaign now takes place in January, a time which can be difficult for many people, including those who are grieving. 

Through National Grief Awareness Week, they hope to encourage a more open, supportive, and understanding approach to grief, to help both the bereaved and those around them navigate this challenging part of life with greater empathy.
