I asked myself: “If I were to curate an exhibition about my mother, which 100 objects would I choose?” That question lead to my first exhibition about grief, death and loss in 2015 in London -- and my Curating Grief practice.

When I had the difficult task of clearing out my mom’s house after she died, my curatorial instincts kicked in. I asked myself: “If I were to curate an exhibition about my mother, which 100 objects would I choose?” That question lead to my first exhibition about grief, death and loss in 2015 in London -- and my Curating Grief practice. The Grief Gallery has presented international exhibitions and events in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Lisbon. My Curating Grief coaching framework offers grievers a creative, accessible way of processing loss. In my gatherings, we explore the role of art, design and creativity -- and objects! -- in meaning-making after loss and facilitating narrative development for post-traumatic growth. - curator , author, and certified grief coach Charlene Lam
