Our April Touchstones theme is “Grief.” While many do not want to explore grief, people may experience grief with few resources and little wisdom. Myths about grief and messages that discount the experience of grief can be harmful. These include: “You should be over this by now,” “No sense in dwelling in the past,” “I think you should do it this way,” “It’s a blessing,” or “It was God’s will.” Grief is a wisdom tradition. Learning about grief supports our grieving and helps us support others in theirs.
Join us during the month of April as we explore the theme of Grief!
