Grief and Grieving
What’s On Your Mind? Heart? Spirit?
Are you coming to terms with the death of a friend, a partner, a family member, or an animal companion?
Have disability or a terminal diagnosis shattered your sense of self?
Are you grieving the gradual loss of a loved once experiencing cognitive decline?
How We Can Work Together
Grief is part of the cycle of life yet is often shunned, shamed, or silenced within many modern cultures. Yet grieving in community is the key to healing and integrating loss. Let’s work together to welcome and witness your grief.
Words of Wisdom
“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give. If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair. If I have only gratitude, I’ll become saccharine and won’t develop much compassion for other people’s suffering. Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible.”
-Francis Weller
