An embodied guide to being with grief individually and in communitypractical exercises, decolonized rituals, and Earthbased medicines for healing and processing lossWe live in a culture that suppresses our ability to truly feel our griefdeeply, safely, and on our own terms. But each persons experience is as unique as the grief itself. Here, Camille Sapara Bartons take on grief speaks directly to the ways that BIPOC and queer readers disproportionately experience unique constellations of loss.Deeply practical and easy to use in times of confusion, trauma, and pain, Tending Grief includes rituals, reflection prompts, and exercises that help us process and metabolize our griefwithout bypassing or pushing aside what comes to the fore. Sapara Barton includes exercises that can be done both alone and in community, including:Altar practices to honor and connect with ancestors known and unknown Locating, holding, and dancing your grief Sharing circles for processing communal loss Water, fire, and naturebased rituals Honoring the survival utility of numbnessand knowing when its time to release it Peer support and integration Herbal medicines and plantbased healingSapara Barton honors each and every experience: The loss of displacement from homelands, from severed lineages and ancestral ways of knowing. The grief of colonization and theft. The deep heaviness that burrows into our bodies when society tells us our bodies are wrong. Practical tools and rituals help readers feel into their grief, honor what comes up, and move forward in healing.Written specifically to center and hold the grief of BIPOC readers, Tending Grief is an invitation to reconnect to what weve lost, to find community in our grief, and to tend to our own suffering for our individual and collective wellbeing.
