You’ve landed in the right place.

Each month, we hold a virtual grief tending circle to hold sacred space for grievers to come undone. To unmask. To relax into the most honesty of their grief.

The one for February just concluded, and I was reminded how powerful and necessary these spaces are.

We’re living through times where leaning into community, both in person and virtually, is paramount to navigating uncertainty.

This is even more relevant if you’ve just experienced a loss.

That’s why I created The Community by Grief and Light—a virtual home for grievers.

Hope is never futile - it is one of the greatest forms of resistance we have.

I don’t know who needs this message today, but …

“Shame prevents healing. The conditions that make shame grow, as Brown describes in ATLAS OF THE HEART, are secrecy, silence, and judgment. Empathy is the most important quality for interrupting shame.” — Lisa Keefauver, GRIEF IS A SNEAKY BITCH 📖

The bittersweet reality of grief is that some of the most beautiful moments in my life have been forged in the aftermath of losing my only sibling, the witness to my life, my beloved brother, Yosef.

This weekend was the light in #griefandlight as I got to meet ⬇️

Hannah Arendt: “The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”

“You’ve probably heard some version of the Gramsci quote

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯. 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴."

The line is generally attributed to Antonio Gramsci, but this particular version is actually a loose translation by Slavoj Žižek.

TT will be back w/i a week or so.

Meta likely bought it and/or will have significant control over its data.

It will become one of the most powerful propaganda arms of the incoming administration.

It's not about an app.

It's about government overreach and control.

There can be so much pressure to “get over” our grief.

“It’s been years, shouldn’t you be over it by now?”
“You’re STILL grieving!?”
“I think you need to get help. You shouldn’t feel sad about it after THIS long.”
“So and so lost their person, too, and they recovered quickly.”

Our grief support community is growing!

And we continue to add spaces and resources to support grievers on their journey.

Most recently, we added Loss-Specific Circles to foster a closer sense of connection based on each unique form of loss: grief-and-light-community.mn.co/collections/...

A man who called independent women “medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome” and said, “Every effort must be made not to recruit women into engineering…ditto for med school and the law and every trade” is now on the Board of Trustees of the University of West Florida.

My heart goes out to the #PacificPalisades community, first responders, and all impacted by the wildfires during this devastating time. 💔

In times of adversity, the power of community shines through. Here are some ways to show support.

As we ease back into work and the rhythm of a new year, it’s normal to feel disoriented, overwhelmed, or even a little disconnected after the holidays. If that’s where you’re at today, know that it’s okay to feel this way.

Try saying this affirmation out loud:

If you’re experiencing grief, loss, or life-altering changes…

If you’re a sacred space holder for those experiencing life’s challenges…

If you’re a creator in the grief space (content, podcast, author, etc.)

Let’s connect 💜

The holiday season can be a bittersweet time for those grieving. It’s a season of joy and celebration, but also a time when loss and grief are amplified.

As grievers, we often feel the pressure to participate in holiday traditions, even when we’re not up for it.
