Grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one. We carry grief for what happened in our lives, what didn’t happen, what we got, and didn’t get, the love we expected to receive and did not receive, ancestral grief, collective grief, and even ecological grief. As you can see, grief is something that is always with us, and it deserves our attention and reverence as a path of healing and a path to greater joy, love, and connection with all of life.
Grief tending invites you out of the shadows of isolation to be seen and held in your grief. It longs to be held and witnessed in the sanctity of holy sacred circle, where it is witnessed in Love. We learn to hold our grief more adeptly, seeing it as holy, and we recognize that it offers us a deeper connection with our hearts and with life itself. In circle, we gain more capacity to hold all of the flavors of life…the darkness and the light, including our sadness, pain, anger, joy, peace, and love. When we turn toward our grief with openness and care, we gain more acceptance and gratitude for the seasons and emotions: life, death and rebirth, joy and sorrow.
