In honor of Grief Awareness Day: Seven Way-Too-Common Grief Myths.

(Image descriptions in alt text)

Myth One: "Grief is a pathology that needs to be cured or fixed."

Myth Two: "The grieving process is completed in five discrete, linear stages."

Myth Three: "After [insert amount of time], you should be over it."

Myth Four: "You shouldn't mention the (person, pet, etc.) they lost, because that will remind them of the loss."

Myth Five: "I need to say the right thing or try to fix it."

Myth Six: "Losing someone you were estranged from is easier than losing someone you were close to."

Myth Seven: "Grief is only for death."

It's been an exhausting year, but Pride month is here. Let's gather what spoons we've got (in the AC, so we're not so hot). Save a few hours on the evening of 6/24 for our second annual, but *lower* spoons this time because we're all pretty darn tired, "Low-Spoons Pride."  More details and registration coming soon. 💜🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 - Kris

What can be said when the relentless and indiscriminate fury of nature collides with the violent negligence of systemic failure?

It's too soon to know the full extent of all we have lost and all we have yet to lose, as days slip into weeks. It's too soon to know. Too soon to grieve. Not while our minds and our bodies are on edge. Not while fear and rage, exhaustion and despair rule the day.

As death doula and documentarian Theresa Desautels notes, “The act of grieving is a privilege. It means you are safe enough to process what has been lost.”

The day will come when we may grieve together.

Until that day comes, though many remain without power, we are not wholly powerless. We can check on our neighbors, share a warm blanket, an outlet for charging, a cup of coffee, a listening ear. We can plug in with the grassroots orgs doing phenomenal work to support our community. We can use our voices and our stories to petition the powers-that-be to do better. We can embody a better way.

I will continue to repost opportunities to help, as well as resources for those who need them. I have joined in and will continue to join in with local support efforts as I am able. I invite you to join in, as you can, and to share the resources widely, especially with those who do not have access to the internet.

I encourage you to reach out to our community if you have a need. We are not meant to go this alone. You don't have to go this alone.

In love and solidarity,

Krista
