ABOUT


The Student Grief Zine was written and designed by Anna May with contributions from seventeen young adults in our community.

It is a collaboration between The Student Grief Network and The New Normal Charity, and has kindly been funded by the Angus Lawson Memorial Trust.

We want to normalise the conversation around loss, build more nuanced understandings, and create compassionate spaces where people can connect and move through grief in whatever way feels right to them.






The Student Grief Network


SGN connects students and softens the impact of grief in universities by raising awareness and providing a range of avenues for support - from staff training to online resources, creative projects and events.

The New Normal Charity


TNN connects adults through their grief and mental health through simple, open conversations. They have peer-support groups for different communities like Queer Good Grief, Black and Brown Good Grief, It’s Complicated, Boys Talk, Partner Loss and more.
