“I realized that regardless of the tragedy, regardless of the grief, regardless of the monstrous challenge, Some of Us Have Not Died. Some of us did NOT die…And what shall we do, we who did not die?” June Jordan #GriefLiteracy
My Uncle Samir, one of my mum's brothers, died in Egypt yesterday. He is survived by daughters Reham and Deena and son Ahmed. He is the 6th member of my extended family to die since May 2021. I wrote this last year as I was learning #GriefLiteracy.

Thank you @SusanCadell and other death studies practitioners and scholars who have coined the phrase #GriefLiteracy--“the capacity to access, process, and use knowledge regarding the experience of loss"--a language many of us must become more proficient in feministgiant.com/p/essay-some-o…
I am looking for a therapist. I've been open about my anxiety and the difficulty of disentangling perimenopause from the pandemic. It feels like trying to drive a car with the hand brake on.

Many of us also have so much grief that is unprocessed and unspoken.

I've been in therapy twice before, both times for depression, work-related stress, and a marriage that quickly fell apart.
The last time (2001-2002) was Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which saved me.

An international group of death studies practitioners and scholars from several countries and disciplines--has coined the concept #GriefLiteracy, which means “the capacity to access, process, and use knowledge regarding the experience of loss.”
Loss, as they explain, does not only occur in response to death; any loss can cause us to grieve.

I've been going out the most since the pandemic and I don't know if this is just what I want to see or if it's actually happening but so many people are kinder, softer, freer with compliments and kind words.
I wrote about grief literacy and I wonder if this is what we're doing.

Those of us who did not die must prepare to take our individual grief out into the world, find our place in communal mourning & nurturing, whisper to each other’s hearts “We know you’re strong.Look at what you survived. You can be soft here, we’ve got you” feministgiant.com/p/essay-some-o…
The title of my essay is from the poet June Jordan who asked soon after 9/11: “I realized that regardless of the tragedy, regardless of the grief, regardless of the monstrous challenge, Some of Us Have Not Died. Some of us did NOT die…And what shall we do, we who did not die?”
