I love this question! I also focus a lot of my newsletter on grief and just launched a new poetry series that I wrote in the aftermath of my father's passing, while also becoming a first time mom! This time of year especially, I find it difficult to express the sadness and the void of the missing loved one- while we're also expected to celebrate the present moment. It's definitely a paradox and in general, I think our society does a poor job of honoring individual and collective grief.
I lost my mother in 1993. I am a grief specialist and have trained with David Kessler, Hope Edelman, Claire Bidwell Smith and feel passionate about bringing grief out of the shadows and into the daily vernacular. When I became a motherless mother, I became more aware of the need for community and grief support.
I'm so sorry you lost your Dad, Mariah 💙 Mine just came out of heart surgery today (he's 93) and I was getting ready for everything. I feel for you and you are so right, our society could definitely do a lot more to honour and support people working through grief.
Oh wow, Joe! My thoughts are with you. I was in the hospital during this time three years ago and it’s especially hard. Sending you and your family love and a big hug!
