Grief is something that is present for a lot of us. There's lots to be
sad about, so what's the best way to process the grief arising from it?
Do we have an obligation to feel sad all the time given the daily
tragedies in our world? We shine light on our own ongoing griefs and
explore what it means to feel safe enough to feel all our feelings, even
as we try and keep up with the needs around us. We also touch on
counters to grief — which seem to fall somewhere between will and joy —
and the meaning we can make as we grieve in community.
