Key Takeaways:
- Grief is not a linear process with tidy stages—it’s messy, lifelong, and uniquely personal.
- Our culture often fails to acknowledge non-death grief, such as breakups, divorce, and unfulfilled life paths.
- “Grief buckets” offer a helpful framework for grieving: solo time, movement, creativity, nature, and community.
- Rituals and community support (like Jewish traditions such as shiva) are essential but often inaccessible in times of crisis—like during COVID.
- It’s okay to laugh, cry, feel numb, or be joyful while grieving. Emotions don’t have to make sense to be valid.
- Grief support must go beyond therapy—it’s a societal responsibility to normalize and hold space for grief in daily life.
