Grief Groves

Grief Groves

I spent most of 2024 and the first part of 2025 in a grief garden with 29 other people. It's kind of like a container-gardening club, but instead of plants, we tend to our grief. And instead of focusing solely on grief that comes from the death of a person or animal, we focus on death of cycles, relationships, identities, and expectations. Grief groves will cover themed elements of grief over the course of the year. Sign up for more.

Beware the urge to fix your grief

Beware the urge to fix your grief

But learning, loving, and a lot of other experiences, are happening even when we cannot name, articulate, see, hear, or otherwise witness them. That perspective is really important because it addresses the other aspect, which is the notion that we can fix or solve grief.
