Picturing Grief is a collaborative project between Projecting Grief and the University of York. In April 2025, we commissioned Jo and Laura of Projecting Grief to produce a collection of images inspired by our Grief Survey. You can view all of the images on the Picturing Grief webpage.
The idea for Picturing Grief came out of a desire to visually communicate ideas about the experience of grief in an intriguing and appealing way. As well as being shared online, the images have been turned into flyers, postcards and coasters and left in places where people might stumble across them them - for example, counselling services, churches, chaplaincies and hospices, but also bars, cafés, libraries and community centres. We hope that finding them will help grieving people and those who support them feel less alone, as well as prompt conversations about grief and loss. All of the words are taken directly from responses to the Grief Survey, and all images were shot specifically for this project.
