This grief ritual in this darkest season is so welcome and hopeful. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m so glad it is landing well for you. Sometimes it takes me days or weeks to realize I need to do a grief ritual…my hope is that this makes it more accessible for others. Grieving is a skill and one we need for these times!

I like your way of framing this, that grieving is a skill. It is not a weakness to avoid, but a skill that we can develop and into which we can grow.

Isn’t she an incredible artist? These are my favorite images of the Cailleach that I have ever seen. More of Shelly’s art at: https://www.instagram.com/talesfromthewood/
