- Religion & Spirituality
It feels like the understatement of the century to say that a lot has happened in our world in the last 3 years, let alone the last 3 weeks.
Between a global pandemic, war in Ukraine, war in Israel and Gaza, racism, antisemitism, hurricanes and floods, wildfires, school shootings, and too many tragedies and conflicts, we have experienced a lot of collective grief. It is an awful breeding ground for increased anxiety, depression, suicide, fear, anger, loneliness, hopelessness, and division.
So how do we navigate and process this collective grief in a healthy way that does not allow us to be overtaken by it?
In this episode, we talk about 3 important practices to implement in the midst of collective grief and why they matter. These ways have been researched and chronicled by trusted psychology and grief recovery centers, and can be put into practice in each of our lives.
