That was so beautiful Janet. The chart was helpful- I realize I have said some of the things on the wrong side of the chart- so good to recognize and now understand. You introduced me to Stephen Jenkinson (sp?) - such a unique perspective he has, and I am drawn to it. This needs to be taught, instead we go unprepared for what grief is, even though we will all experience at some point in time.
Oh, we've all made those mistakes - we really aren't taught about grief in our culture! As Jenkinson says, we're "grief-illiterate." But ... we can always learn. I'm glad you liked the posting.
Oh I love that post you linked me to! Grief is a deep topic, & we all experience it, but we seem to mostly not want to touch it with a 10-foot pole in our culture. And oh my, how much grief we're all feeling now - almost 4 years into this new world order (if I may call it that) - but so unacknowledged, by so many! (the grief, the many losses, & the new world order!)
I appreciate you taking the time to read it amidst all you're going through...and I'm thrilled if it offered even a little solace. Please be sure to keep practicing self-care.
