Charlene Lam is a certified grief coach, artist, and the founder of The Grief Gallery. After her mother died suddenly in 2013, Charlene leaned into her creativity and instincts as a curator to guide herself through grief. Charlene believes we are ALL curators, and developed the Curating Grief coaching framework to help people process grief in a creative, accessible way. In addition to working individually with grief coaching clients, as curator of The Grief Gallery®, Charlene presents international exhibitions featuring the belongings of loved ones, including installations and events in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto and London. She’s the star of the new short film Curating Grief: Loss and Objects. Originally from NYC, she’s currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
