Episode 17: Tending to Grief
Right now, what I’m working on is recognizing what the signs are of grief for me, and what grieving looks like for me, so that, when I feel that, I can get up and do the things I need to do to take care of it.
What does it mean to tend to our grief? Alica Forneret is a writer, facilitator, and Grief Guide who creates spaces for people to explore their grief. She is fiercely committed to making sure that we have more conversations about grief, death, and dying - whether that’s at home, at work, or with strangers on the bus. This episode was recorded live in collaboration with the “Reimagine: Life, Loss, & Love,” virtual festival, a response to COVID-19. In this episode, we talk about Alica’s mom and how grief has shaped her work today.
