Why This Work Matters
Grief in the IDD community often goes unrecognized. Individuals do not receive appropriate acknowledgement, and families supporting loved ones in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) community are often navigating grief without clear direction or meaningful support. Loss may be misunderstood, minimized, or managed on someone else’s behalf.
This space brings advocacy, education, and practical resources together to restore agency and dignity, because grief deserves recognition, and those experiencing it deserve to be seen.

Behind A Good Transition
A Good Transition was created by Marla Zapach, a trained end-of-life doula and grief practitioner dedicated to supporting families in the IDD community. Drawing on decades of international advocacy work, professional training and lived experience, she created this hub to bring practical guidance, greater awareness, and steady support to grief that is too often overlooked.
