How do you not hate them for that luck of being slightly uphill? But finding community, finding people, and be able to just talk about not just the thing that happened, but the fear it brings up. And to reconnect not only with the fact that everyone is in some kind of grief, that is part of the human condition. One of the songs, I don't tend to, I'm not singing toad songs at these things.
There are a lot of songs, and it's a community singing tradition. I do a community choir leading thing at home. There was something I learned during my hippie rumspringa. But the, there's a song that, it's just, be kind, everyone carries a heavy load. Good message to take through life, right? And just singing that over and over. These songs are simple.

They're like church songs, but they're a little more universal. Be kind. Everyone carries a heavy load. And it's... singing songs like these together and people getting to think, well, my husband died, but their kid died and you were abused. I'm not actually alone. We're all going to lose all the people we love or they're going to lose us. That's the fact of human life.

And there's instead of tightening around the pain, the art in grief work is expanding around the love to the point where you can contain the pain You can contain the sadness, you can contain that acute grief, and you can also contain the love that sources it. And that love is much larger than the pain.

And it can be so frightening to walk through that veil of the pain because it feels like that's all there is. It feels like it will eat you and destroy you. And to enter willingly into it, you get to the other side of it. And there's something about doing it in community.

Reconnecting with other people makes it a lot easier and you remember that you can do it because all the people who go to these workshops, they go home and they're going to crash again. And when they crash again, they will remember that there is something on the other side.

And they'll remember they have a full community of people that they were with, that they can talk to, that they can connect with, that they can keep communicating with, who can help them through the next time. And that there's a shared experience of doing that.

And I mean, I think that's one of the things that drives people to do things like dancing the Sundance or other forms of sacrificial prayer or the Catholic, or ayahuasca, or like things that are... difficult and painful, but also provide a like a spiritual container in which you can together remember that it's possible to come back to something. Yeah, it's grief work is a fascinating thing.
