Grief is weighing heavily on so many of us. Whether you are grieving a loved one lost in the past year, to COVID-19 or otherwise, or you are grieving someone lost long ago but never forgotten, the weight of loss never fully leaves us. Do you have any rituals or other spiritual practices that help you to hold and tend to your grief? Are you struggling with grief and looking for more support or ideas to help you hold it? Either way, we would love to hear more about what grief looks like for you and how it lives in your daily life.

If you would like us to be able to publish or share your writing in the future, remember to include “You have permission to edit and publish my words” somewhere on your submission.
