The Grief Practice - An Exploration & Explanation of Grief In The Body

Let’s talk story

Much of our grief came long before us. We feel it

Much of our grief came long before us.

We feel it, carry it, mourn what we know and don’t know, wondering why it doesn’t fit neatly into the edges of our stories or bones, sometimes glimpsing how it breathes a little easier when set in relief against our ancestor’s stories or some part of our history our cells know even if our minds don’t.

Inherited loss we didn’t know we lost, pressing out through our eyes, senses, movements, and behaviors.

Even the distinct losses - of our person, our thing - informed by what we are predisposed to, genetically predicted to respond a certain way to… it’s not just ours, sometimes never was.

Just this piece, lodged in our throat; just this piece, tucked deep in our heart: just this piece, racking our brains or our bones, stealing our peace.

We mend and tend to our own hearts, bodies, minds with a quality of care that is due all humans. Not because we have to but because we can.

Here and now in a new environment, new supports, new information, we hold what was against what is and sometimes
sometimes find the rest we have been craving for generations.
