Grief Tending in Community
Mon 1/3/21
Grief is a natural response to what life brings us – sadness, loneliness, anger, despair and many more feelings. The more we open ourselves to love others, to celebrate the beauty of our world, to long for, or work for peace and justice, the more we also open to the pain of losing what we love, of witnessing the destruction of what is precious, and experiencing the suffering and inequality in the world around us
For many, the natural flow of grief is blocked in a society where spontaneous expressions of feeling are often taboo. Giving space to reconnect with buried grief, as well as what is present and moving right now, can be a healing, relieving and life affirming experience.
