Relationships aren’t passive. To be fulfilling, they need regular attention. A relationship with grief is the same.

It is where we pay attention, witness, be, and tend to our grief. With loving care and attention, the grief can soften.

This attention allows us to move forward with our experiences and be curious about what is possible.

One way to build a relationship with grief is to
cultivating a practice - something you do to engage with your grief that also provides stabilization, something to give you ballast.

It can be anything that brings you comfort - writing, knitting, yoga, dancing, prayer, running, cooking, walking in the woods.

You can formally or informally tend to your grief while doing these things. It’s all about the intention.

Set aside some time cultivate this relationship by joining me on Sunday, February 25th at 10.30 am PST / 6.30 PM GMT
to be in the company of other grievers and tend to your grief.

All are welcome. More info with 🔗

Grief is isolating in a society that has forgotten the role of authentic community and values the privatization of emotion to the nuclear family structure. For those outside the nuclear family structure, another layer of isolation is added.

When the natural world is treated as if it solely exists for resource extraction and personal gain, we eradicate an important generative source of belonging.

We need to remember extensive kinship networks are available outside of the nuclear family and with other than human beings.

We must maintain connections with this extensive kinship network to remain entangled despite the despair we encounter and the pull toward hiding. This means recognizing kinship with humans, other than human beings and the natural world around us. Amid this landscape of childless grief, maintaining filaments of connection to the broader world emerges as an essential aspect of grief work. It becomes a vital aspect of healing and resilience.

I’m slowly beginning to emerge from hibernation. Feeling the ever so faint stirrings as we approach Imbolc - the Gaelic festival that marks the midway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

The rough journey of initiation I’ve been on for the last year and a half continues. With the promise of spring comes a renewed energy to keep going.

Irish poet John O'Donohue says, 'Life is a growth in the art of loss.'

This has certainly been my experience and the longer I am alive, the more loss and resulting grief is present. But this reality doesn't automatically cause despair.

Grief isn’t an emotion; it is a core human capacity - if we can turn towards sorrow and engage with it - this deepens our capacity and creates a relationship with grief.

Relationships aren't passive. To be fulfilling, they need regular attention. This relationship is where we pay attention, witness, be, and tend to our grief. With loving care and attention, the grief can soften.

This allows us to move forward with our experiences and be curious about what is possible.

In my journey to accepting my childless life, creating a relationship with my grief has been a key to integrating my experiences and moving forward with all that I have learned.

I am honoured to share my perspective in creating a generative relationship with grief at this year's Childless Collective Summit.

You can get free access to this and 30 + other presentations with this link: https://sjsmith--chasingcreation.thrivecart.com/pace-yourself-pass/

A relationship with grief not only serves my childless identity it serves my whole being. The reality of being human is that grief and loss are pervasive and perennial - there is never a time when grief is not around, and we need an approach and skills to be with it and tend to it.

Irish poet John O'Donohue says that life is a growth in the art of loss.

Grief isn’t an emotion; it is a core human capacity - if we can turn towards sorrow and engage with it - this deepens our capacity and creates a relationship with grief.

Relationships aren't passive. To be fulfilling, they need regular attention. This relationship is a container where we pay attention, witness, be with and tend to our grief. With loving care and attention, the grief can soften. This allows us to move forward with our experiences and be curious about what is possible.
