Starting a grief book group this fall here in Seattle

Mary Oliver on thresholds

Just a note to ask: Got grief?

Who doesn't?

( Got grief could be a parody of the Got Milk commercials years ago. Only you have tear drop falling from your eyes instead of a milk mustache. As in Who doesn't have grief in this day of climate crisis, permanent war on each other and the planet? )

Happy to help you start your own group. Don't wait for an expert to come along. No one else is going to save us.

So start your own grief group. That's what I'm doing. Friend in the neighborhood is slowly losing her husband to ALS. And she asked me a while a go if I could help her kickstart a grief group.

We're going to launch a book group format just to test the waters. And we're going to meet at Green Lake so we'll be outside slow walking into tree time, enjoying some imagination restoration in silence and conversation listening to each other.

Need help starting a group? I can help. Get in touch @ Good Nature Publishing
