Yesterday was the 5th Annual Grief in Public Day, Hallelujah! Our society is so grief phobic. So ready to hide it away and swallow it down. Brush it under the rug. Don’t talk about it too much or for too long. Fuck that. Toxic af.
So let it be a day for grief to be seen as a part of everyday life. (Cuz it is, for better or worse) Not pushed down, hidden, carried quietly and saved for lonely corners. A day for grief to be recognized as a sacred and unifying experience, one that is present all the time, all around us.
Instead of trying to make it smaller, we should try to sit with it, to sit with each other a little more. To see it, and each other just a little bit more. 🖤✨
