Quotes from my social media this morning

[cosmolinguist]

Grief has become a thing that lives with us. i've noticed the last few years that the more i name my social grief and let myself feel it, the less reactive and squabbly i am, and the more compassion and energy i have to care for others

this is the essence of Grief Therapy in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), along with sharing your stories w/those you share values with.

grief requires tending, a form of labor, but the advantage of social/political grief is that we have many hands to make light work -- there are millions of us on this planet to help hold it. even when we feel so alone in the absurdity of loss, we can breathe and remember how many wanted the same world as we do, and we can feel how that world is very much alive in our hearts and collective imagination

A collective grief is a powerful thing. And, hopefully, it well help us remember what is lost when we get the opportunity to return to it in our future.
