Griefwalker
What if grief isn't something that happens to you, but something you learn to do? Out of love.
Who it's for
Much death anxiety comes from avoidance: a culture that won't look at dying leaves people alone with it.

What it is
Griefwalker is a 2008 National Film Board of Canada documentary (70 minutes) directed by Tim Wilson and produced by Annette Clarke. It follows Stephen Jenkinson, former leader of a palliative-care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, as he argues that death should be treated as an essential part of life rather than denied.
