MELBOURNE, Australia - AussieJournal -- Invitation to share experiences of grief: Griefline launches National Grief Survey for Grief Awareness Month

Griefline is inviting people across the country to share their experiences of grief in the 2025 National Grief Survey, launched as part of Grief Awareness Month this August.

The survey aims to better understand how grief is experienced in Australia — from bereavement to living losses such as relationship breakdown, identity loss, cultural disconnection, serious illness, and the uncertainty of an unknown future — and to identify where more support, education, and resources are needed.

"Grief is universal, yet too often it goes unspoken or unsupported," says Kate Cahill, Chief Executive Officer of Griefline. "By taking part in this survey, Australians can help us understand what's working, what's missing, and how we can better respond to the grief of others and ourselves."

The survey launch forms part of Griefline's Let's Talk About Grief campaign, now in its second year.

From the pain of losing a child, to surviving trauma, relationship breakdowns, identity loss, cultural disconnection, and the uncertainty of an unknown future, the stories shared through the campaign reflect the extraordinary diversity of grief.

"What began as an awareness campaign in 2024 has quickly evolved into a courageous space for people to speak openly about their grief," says Louisa Smith, Director of Strategic Innovation at Griefline. "Through this year's survey, we're taking that one step further — gathering real insights to help improve the support, education, and resources available for grieving people across Australia."

Grief impacts millions of people each year. In Australia, more than 1.6 million people are bereaved annually, and countless others experience non-death-related losses that profoundly affect their lives.

"What runs through every story is a search for meaning," says Ms Smith. "People are finding purpose in their grief, reclaiming their voices, and encouraging others to unite. That's what Griefline stands for — and that's why this campaign matters."
