Good Grief
Where Gifting Meets Grief
Sometimes in the wake of loss, people don’t know what to say or do for the bereaved. That’s where Good Grief, an e-commerce store connecting people to grief-focused care packages, comes in.
The organization, started by two sisters, describes their mission as trying to “make life suck a little less.” They created the organization after finding that there weren’t any options on the market for empathetic gifts that felt genuine and not trite. They describe wanting to confront life’s terrible situations head-on, even making space for joy where it makes sense.
Their website features a section specific to loss, which has a curated selection of boxes specifically for grief associated with the loss of a loved one. Options range from a dark-humored “Damn You, Universe!” package to a self-care inspired “The Art of Grieving” package to more audience-specific packages for widows and teens and more. Providing pre-curated options is a great way for people to support their loved ones through seasons of loss.
Beyond loss-related grief, they also offer options for other life struggles from infertility to cancer to job loss and beyond. This month for Suicide Prevention Awareness, they also have a “Reasons to Stay Alive” box.
