How do we decide what to keep after a loved one dies? Certified grief coach and curator Charlene Lam offers an innovative way of seeing meaningful objects, the physical stuff, and our relationships with the dead, the living, and ourselves.

We're all curators after a loved one dies. No gallery needed.

When someone important to us is gone, we face difficult choices-what to keep, who gets what, how to go on. The Curating Grief(R) framework offers a compassionate, empowering way to navigate these difficult decisions.

In these pages, you'll discover that a purely clinical approach often isn't enough for healing after major loss. We need a blend of the practical and poetic, grit and grace.

This book will help you:

• Embrace the role of curator-no artistic ability or fancy collection required.
• Build a continuing bond with your loved one, whether your loss is recent or decades ago. *Handle physical belongings in compassionate, accessible ways.
• Navigate complex feelings, including guilt and regret, around relationships with both the living and the dead.
• Make space for your grief and what is truly important to you.

Whether you're grappling with piles of stuff or piles of grief (or both), discover a creative, gentle path forward-without losing yourself or needing to leave your loved one behind.
