Thank you for sharing these tender reflections on grief, Kara. I should imagine it feels like hurricane season everyday in the US under the current administration alone. Here’s to some humility and ability to take persoective spreading like a balm over such troubled waters.
I loved this post from whomever inside of you wrote it! It resonated deeply. As you know, I'm a big believer in Uncle Walt's multitudinous take on being a human. So many voices inside to choose from. I'm also a big believer in the terrible beauty of grief and grieving in all the ways it calls on us to. I had an experience this week that was exactly this: "in a wise community, people know that they’ll be the container this time and that next time they will be the one crying." I fell apart in a zoom room full of other coaches. This is something I've never done before - let myself be held by a group container as I wept and grieved. I'm usually the one holding the container for others. These weren't even people I've known for very long, but I sensed them to be sturdy and safe enough to do this for me, and it was profoundly helpful. I don't even really have the words to adequately describe how much so.
Thank you for sharing the fruits of your own explorations with this topic, friend. We are, collectively, in desperate need of conversations like this. 🙏💙🤍🩵🕊️🙏
Ahhh thank you so much for this comment, Keith, and receiving what the muses dragged forth! I love that you had this experience being held in a roomful of sturdy, wise adults, and equally that that something in you sensed it was safe and it indeed felt that way 💓💓💓 Thank you so much for sharing and being part of this tender grief conversation. See you at Uncle Walt’s v. soon!
This is where I am this week- thank you for putting it into beautiful words, articulating the messy innards, demonstrating our human connection when internal states tell us we are alone in our experiences ❤️
I love this articulation that it can be internal states as much as life experience that can warn us away this work. The messy innards…so messy! So magical too where we approach with care, yes? Thank you for being here Jamie! Part of my fields of care 💓🐘🫶🏽
Thank you so much for this wonderful share 💗🙏 I deeply appreciate you writing all this in such a beautiful and digestible way, straight from the heart. It almost feels like it was custom written for my brain (i don’t always have capacity to concentrate on long reads), but you switch it up just at the right moment every time 😅
This is really beautiful, friend! So glad you wrote it all down.

So true, such troubled waters. Humility and grounding are some serious medicine for me these days. Thank you for reading, Michelle! 🫶🏽🕊️
