TOOLS + CONSIDERATIONS FOR RAGGEDY TIMES
Check out the griefKit
Because none of us can avoid grief’s ashy-knuckled grasp.
There is no right way to navigate grief and loss. But it’s much easier to do with joy, community, and good snacks.
This crowdsourced griefKit has articles and essays, books, communities and toolkits, mindful movement, music and podcasts, recipes, activities for reflection and exploration, and lots of love.
Available in text form and as a joy-filled 55-page downloadable PDF.
A COMMUNITY POLL ON GRIEF
“Sometimes, I wish I could call my mom: What to do when you want to talk to a deceased loved one.”
When grief runs up on you, do you bust out your journal or turn to your altar? Breeze past the moment and forget about it? Phone a friend?
We asked community members how they handle those moments when they wish they could hear from someone who has passed away.
Joy is our love language.
Here’s what a few community members had to say about the GetSomeJoy Experience.
“…this was probably the first time I’ve ever really felt heard.”
LITERARY THERAPY ATTENDEE
“I’ve been to a lot of groups. I lead sewing workshops for domestic violence survivors. Outside of my therapist, this was probably the first time I’ve ever really felt heard. It was the best group I’ve ever been to. And I learned that I don’t listen enough. I’m so glad I found this space.”
