About Us
The Good Grief project is about understanding grief as an active and creative process.
Approximately 6000 young people under the age of 24 die in the UK every year leaving up to 50,000 newly bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents.
Our mission is to support families grieving after the untimely death of a loved one, particularly the death of a child. We do this by encouraging a creative response to grief and by looking for new ways of expressing the pain of loss with various art forms and media.
And to promote an understanding of what it means to grieve in a society that often has difficulty talking openly about death, dying and bereavement. We do this with our films and talks.
Founded by bereaved parents Jane Harris and Jimmy Edmonds, the charity was founded in honour of their son Joshua, who died tragically in 2011.
