17: Tending to Grief

What does it mean to tend to our grief?

Breathing Wind Podcast

Jul 21, 2020

Transcript

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.

Discussion about this podcast

Breathing Wind

Breathing Wind is a podcast about grief and loss and how we journey with these lifelong companions.

Naila Francis, grief coach, writer and former journalist and Sarah Davis, podcast consultant, speaker and writer, are cohosts. We offer warm, honest and insightful conversations for the introspective at heart.

Launched in 2019 as a personal grief project, the podcast struck a chord with listeners looking for a space to feel less alone in their grief. Quickly, a dedicated community grew around the candid and compelling conversations with others who knew grief just as intimately and those who offered guidance for navigating this universal human experience.

In its three seasons of publishing monthly episodes, Breathing Wind has become a trusted space to explore who we become and how we make meaning in the midst of our post-loss lives. It's also the place where joy, laughter, wonder and possibility co-exist alongside deep heartbreak.
