#17: Negin Sairafi - The Healing Power of Grief Growing Wise

    • Society & Culture

In this episode I share a reading of an essay I wrote in early 2020, which feels more relevant today than it did at the time that I wrote it.

Whether you are experiencing your own grief, or grieving as a response to the horrific injustice in the world, I hope this reading can support you in your process.

"I didn’t understand what grief was until I understood that grief is not sadness. It’s not the melancholy that fills the air on a gloomy winter day. It’s not the experience of missing a friend who lives across the ocean. It’s not the disconnection you feel after an unresolved argument with a loved one. Grief is much deeper than that."
