Grief Tending is a space to come together in a group to feel and release our grief.
A simple way to explain why we might want to tend to our grief is that we often feel better after a good cry. We all carry pain, sadness, anger and loneliness within us. When we experience the full range of our feelings, we become more whole and feel more alive. This can then ripple out to positively impact the people and the world around us. Processing and letting our grief out may unlock our ability to feel more positive emotions. Unexpressed or suppressed grief can cause problems for ourselves, our relationships, society and the natural world.
We may not always be able to feel our grief, we may not always cry, yet that is the intention we bring to grief tending. We are showing up to feel our pain and create space for feelings that we might not have time for in everyday life or that we might usually avoid. The focus is on feeling emotions, rather than narratives in the mind or fixing things. There may be very strong expressions of emotion in this space, or not.
