Grief after a death — the Dougy Center library
One of the oldest grief-support organizations in the U.S., with free written and video resources for every relationship and age.

The Dougy Center has supported grieving children, teens, young adults, and families since 1982. Their free library is organized by who you lost (parent, partner, child, sibling, friend), how they died (illness, suicide, sudden, overdose), and your own age and role.
A useful counterweight to the stage-model framings of grief that have largely fallen out of favor in research literature without falling out of cultural circulation.
Mental Hum's library is a curated index of authoritative third-party resources. The summary above is our own framing; the full information lives at the source.
