The compassionate communities movement challenges the notion that death and dying should be housed within clinical and institutional contexts, and works to normalize conversations about death and dying by promoting death literacy and dialogue in public spaces. Community-based practices and conversations about grief remain marginal in this agenda. We aimed to theorize how grief could be better conceptualized and operationalized within the compassionate communities movement. We develop the concept of and present vignettes to illustrate a grief literate society. Grief literacy augments the concept of death literacy, thereby further enhancing the potential of the compassionate communities approach.
慈悲社区运动挑战了死亡和临终应局限于临床和机构环境的观念，并通过在公共场所促进死亡素养和对话，努力使关于死亡和临终的讨论常态化。基于社区的悲伤实践和对话在这一议程中仍处于边缘地位。我们旨在从理论上探讨如何在慈悲社区运动中更好地对悲伤进行概念化和实施。我们提出了悲伤素养的概念，并通过实例来说明一个具备悲伤素养的社会。悲伤素养扩展了死亡素养的概念，从而进一步增强了慈悲社区方法的潜力。
