Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community by Camille Sapara Barton

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This was an I credible read that left me with much to think about (and much more to read with all the sources and recommendations for further reading). This talks a lot about grief in the context of larger systems and ancestral pain, and the role in activist spaces. There are a few conversations from organizers who handle grief in community. Finally, it concludes with grief rituals that can be used alone and in groups. While this looks a lot at grieving things like the impacts of colonization, it also acknowledges many more individual experiences with greif, including various experiences with abortion. 

This had a lot of really good information while also staying really grounded in how we can relate to all of this individually and in our communities.
