Grief Stories is a charity that creates free resources about grief for people who are grieving, people supporting those in grief, and grief professionals. Our videos, podcast, and blog posts are created with people with lived experience, as well as mental health professionals. We also have resources about music, art, and writing for healing. Our content aims to connect people who have been impacted by grief with hope, connection, stories, insights, and information. Grief Stories is privately accessible anywhere, anytime as a community health resource. All content is vetted by healthcare professionals.
Guest: Alyssa Warmland - interdisciplinary artist and activist. Her work utilizes elements of radical vulnerability, restorative justice, mindfulness, compassion, performance, and direct action. She is a mother, La Leche League Leader, Board member of La Leche League Canada, writer, podcaster, producer, director, performer, content creator, not-for-profit administrator, and abstract visual artist. Lyss is a strong advocate for fumbling towards an ethic of care, especially when it comes to the topics of birth, matresence, and grief. Most of all, she’s interested in the way people choose to tell their stories and how that keeps them well.
Lyss is currently pursuing her Masters of Counselling Psychology and plans to specialize in perinatal mental health. In her spare time, you can find her in the forest.
Lyss is a 33 year old white, queer, disabled woman who lives with her partner and their son on Robinson-Huron (Treaty 61, 1850) land stolen from Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) and Anishinabewaki Cree people.
