Bearing the Unbearable: Love, Loss, and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief
I’ve come to also see grief as part of the everyday experience of being human in a world that is both good and cruel. In this sense, grief is a constant for us. It is a real and right response to our vulnerability.
Tish Harrison Warren • Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep
It is time to grieve and mourn the dead and believe in the power of renewal. If we do not embrace our grief, our sadness will come out sideways in unexpected forms of depression and violence.
Terry Tempest Williams • The Pall Of Our Unrest
Grief is love. How can we hold this grief without holding each other? To bear witness to this moment of undoing is to find the strength and spiritual will to meet the dark and smoldering landscapes where we live. We can cry.
Terry Tempest Williams • The Pall Of Our Unrest
Grief work is soul work. It requires courage to face the world as it is and not turn away, to not burrow into a hole of comfort and anes-thetization.
