“This book has really helped me understand my grief more than I ever have before. I loved reading the stories of others and would highly recommend it to anyone who is grieving.”
We’re Sal and Im, co-founders of Good Mourning. We’re two leopard-print-loving grief educators on a mission to make grief support accessible for all. We break down cultural barriers around talking about this taboo topic by making it conversational and relatable. We love a good yarn, and we spend our days educating and supporting others through our content, resources, talks, workshops, and events, all delivered with a sprinkle of our trademark honesty and humour.
The reality is, in Western society, we still suck at knowing how to talk about the grief process, which makes it an awkward, isolating and confusing experience. We experienced this first-hand after our mums both died suddenly. Struggling to find relatable resources, a chance meeting led us to become friends, where we bonded over loss (and our love of leopard print, of course).
And so Good Mourning was born from our experiences and desire to change how we view grief. We wanted to create the support we wish we had, by talking about grief in an accessible, fun and non-clinical way. We’re passionate about busting grief myths (like the stages of grief), and blend lived experiences with professional insights to help you define grief in an uncomplicated way.
Since launching, we’ve become a leading global grief support podcast and resource, have written a book, built an engaged peer support community and regularly deliver educational workshops, talks and events.
Above all else, Good Mourning is a movement changing how we think and talk about grief, so we can better support ourselves and each other. Will you join us?

“This book has really helped me understand my grief more than I ever have before. I loved reading the stories of others and would highly recommend it to anyone who is grieving.”
“I love the dynamic and vulnerability that they both show and also the humour. It’s like having best mates there having a conversation with you and I don’t feel so alone in the grief. Without them knowing it, the lessons I’ve learned from them and their incredible guests have helped me in so many ways and undoubtedly enriched my life. They’ve helped me laugh and cry, understand and hope.”
“I lost my Dad in December 2021 and I was searching for any comfort. I looked through and listened to so many podcasts but most were depressing or just not helpful. I stumbled across Good Mourning, and I just love it!! Love their voices, humour, the helpful nature of the podcast (especially about signs!) and how relatable it is. I love that it’s not always guests but sometimes them just talking; it’s like talking to a friend. Highly recommend it!”
“After finding out we lost our baby girl at 21 weeks gestation, we were thrown into the deep of grief and all the questions of why; why us that come with it. You’ve shown me how to help navigate this with your fabulous humour in between the real talk and advice, so thank you. A long road ahead for us but I get to go through it listening to you along the way!”
“This podcast has been a lifeline to me in the days, weeks and now months on from the sudden loss of my Mum. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is grieving, no matter where you are in the grieving journey, and also to those wanting to understand how to support loved ones grieving.”
“After 4 pages, I was astounded how much I could relate, which although some articles and books have had some resonance, this GOT me (so much so I ordered immediately for my sister).
I’m actually starting to believe I might not be alone in this parallel universe of loss that I just can’t seem to articulate. Thank you for finding those incredibly needed words.”
Changing the way we think and talk about grief, one honest conversation at a time.
