Losing a job can feel like losing a piece of yourself. Work gives us rhythm, purpose, and belonging.

When it’s taken away—or when it quietly withers—it leaves an empty chair at the table of our identity.

🕯️ Echoes & Endings | Christopher Rowe (1944–2025)

📚 Scholar. Translator. Bridge-builder.
He carried Plato and Aristotle into our century—companions, not relics.

He asked the question: What is it all for?
And lived toward the answer.

📖 Political Grief & the New Cold War
“Swap” traces Russia’s hostage diplomacy, where grief becomes a bargaining chip.

Families wait by silent phones while sorrow is traded as currency.

📚 When dystopias overlap, truth feels stranger than fiction.

Grief lives here too:
Personal, in loss.
Collective, when freedoms erode.
Political, when truth is silenced and futures shrink.

Naming these losses keeps us human when the world urges us to forget.

🌍 Political grief is real.
It’s what we feel when the world shakes: kidnappings, elections, wars, injustice, sudden change.

It isn’t just “politics.” It’s loss, uncertainty, and fear colliding with daily life.

At CGC, we name it. What we can name, we can face.

🧠 Phantom Limb of Love
When someone dies, your brain doesn’t always get the memo. You reach for them. Speak to them. Feel them. That’s not pathology—it’s grief.
Like a phantom limb, love keeps firing even after loss.

🖌️ One bold stroke.
Dark blue ink, open and alive.

The Enso whispers in a fractured world:
There’s still space to feel.

At the California Grief Center, we honor the grief that goes unspoken and unseen.

Even the political is personal.

💔 Grief isn’t a problem to fix.
It’s a process to honor.
And one of the most healing steps?
Naming what you feel.
Research shows that when we identify and label our emotions, we help the brain and body begin to regulate and repair.

🕯️ Echoes & Endings | Tom Lehrer (1928–2025)

🎹 A mathematician turned musical saboteur.
He sang about death, war, and pollution—and made us laugh.

🕊️ Farewell to the last great satirist who saw the absurdity and said: “Let’s sing.”

🖌️ One white stroke.
A quiet loop on deep blue cloth.

The Enso—unfinished, breathing—teaches this:
Grief, like living, resists neat endings.
It moves, it shifts, it returns again.

🌊 NEW POST — “Grief 101: The Dark Ocean Below”

If psychology is to grow up, it must dive deeper.
We’ve skimmed the surface too long. Grief pulls us under.
What lies at the bottom of the mind’s ocean?

🎓 Harvard scientists call it a “survival state.”
$2.7B in research cuts.
Labs gutted. Trials frozen.
This isn’t just politics — it’s a quiet catastrophe.

🎨 A single white brushstroke.
An open circle on a royal blue field.

The Enso—imperfect, alive—reminds us:
Grief, like life, is never complete or closed.
It flows, it changes, it circles back.

📞 Today marks 3 years since 988 launched — the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
But suicide prevention in America began earlier, in Los Angeles, after Marilyn Monroe’s death, when three men asked a radical question:
Could suicide be prevented?

Wow, thank goodness for the good therapists out there:

"Sometimes our job as therapists is just to help kids and teens survive their families until they can leave. It might be due to real harm, or simply a painful mismatch."
