The term “disenfranchised grief,” describes a grief that is not accepted, or considered not acceptable in our culture.  Among those ostracized forms of grief can be the lingering pain over someone long gone (“Isn’t it time you got over it?”) and grief for the loss of a pet (“She was just a cat!”)

Is there disenfranchised grief hiding in your heart, longing to be honored? During the month of November, I will be holding two evening services to hold the space to honor the neglected grief in our hearts on Weds 11/6 at 7 pm and Sat 11/16 at 7 pm.  I hear the Ohio winters are long.  Let’s bolster each other up.
