Shownotes

Charlene Lam is a curator, grief coach, TEDx speaker, and the author of Curating Grief: A Creative Guide to Choosing What to Keep After a Loved One Dies. After her mother died suddenly in 2013, she leaned into her creativity and instincts as a curator to navigate her grief, an experience that became the foundation of her Curating Grief® philosophy and body of work. Through her platform The Grief Gallery®, she presents exhibitions featuring the belongings of loved ones lost, with installations in London, New York City, and Los Angeles. As a grief coach, she guides people through her signature 10 Object Method™, a creative process that helps them engage with their memories and make space for what truly matters. A proud Chinese-American New Yorker like her mom, Charlene is now based in Lisbon, Portugal and works with clients worldwide.
