When people who are grieving
gather together, whether this is at a retreat or at a grief Dinner Party, they
talk about their struggles and they support each other. They cry together and celebrate.
Those who are grieving know
how hard it is to be vulnerable in front of others. Too many people have shut
us down or turned away because our emotions were too strong or went on for
longer than they thought they should. But when we are among others who are
grieving, when we are among our tribe, we feel accepted, and by sharing our struggles, we
begin to work our way through them.
