About us:
Grief Matters is a new nonprofit founded by Dr. Camille Wortman , a psychologist who specializes in grief. Most bereaved individuals turn to the internet to find material to help them cope with their loss, but they often have difficulty locating what they are looking for. Dr. Wortman and her staff reviewed hundreds of websites to identify the top internet resources for dozens of topics on grief. We are developing a unique website called Why Grief Matters that brings all these resources together in one place.
The website includes resources for over 20 different types of loss. The resources come in a variety of formats including articles, stories, podcasts, blog posts, videos, and apps. There is a rich array of material about the grieving process. The website integrates and organizes resources on peer support and support groups from dozens of other sites. It also includes information about low-cost options for therapy. To help build resilience, information about such topics as exercise, meditation, and practicing gratitude is included. The website also provides extensive resources for underserved groups including African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, the LGBTQ+ community, and People with Disabilities.
A preliminary version of the website ( www.whygriefmatters.org ) received excellent reviews from grief experts and has been featured in The New York Times and other influential media outlets. Dr. Wortman received many comments that because our resources are outstanding, the website has the potential to become one of the top websites on grief. According to data from marketing firms, many of the top grief websites draw between 500,000 and one million visitors per year. Consequently, working with Grief Matters offers considerable potential for helping many people who are going through one of life's greatest challenges.
We're building the website using the following technologies:

Every bereaved person deserves the best information available on grief and loss, but it can be very difficult to find. We were determined to locate the most helpful resources on grief and bring them together in one website. We reviewed hundreds of websites to identify the top internet resources on a wide variety of topics pertaining to grief. For each topic, we included the very best articles, stories, and resources for peer support and therapy. Why Grief Matters provides access to all these resources in one easy-to-navigate website.
