Day 71: Anatomy of Grief-Shattered Heart
In this work, I continue to be floored by how we can be at once shattered and whole, raw and powerful, vulnerable and alive. There is nothing like grief. In one moment, it can feel like it might kill you, and hours later, can feel entirely different.
No one’s grief-heart anatomy will be the same….yet here is one take on it that reflects what I encounter most in my life and in my work.
Welcome to my 100-day project. I hope to provide a daily offering on something grief-related. I am a grief therapist and educator working with people in Oregon, Washington, DC, Maryland, and Maine. This feed is in honor of each person who has trusted me with their stories and wisdom during their grief journey. I hope that others may benefit from simple and straightforward talk about a topic that can be difficult.
