Description

Key Takeaways:

  • Grief is not a linear process with tidy stages—it’s messy, lifelong, and uniquely personal.
  • Our culture often fails to acknowledge non-death grief, such as breakups, divorce, and unfulfilled life paths.
  • “Grief buckets” offer a helpful framework for grieving: solo time, movement, creativity, nature, and community.
  • Rituals and community support (like Jewish traditions such as shiva) are essential but often inaccessible in times of crisis—like during COVID.
  • It’s okay to laugh, cry, feel numb, or be joyful while grieving. Emotions don’t have to make sense to be valid.
  • Grief support must go beyond therapy—it’s a societal responsibility to normalize and hold space for grief in daily life.
