[Ep 98] Grief Has A Way Of… Well, Getting In The Way: A Personal Letter From Me To You

Being a spiritual director who focuses on writing back and forth to my clients, I’ve come to realize just how important letter writing is to my work, to the way I reach out to and encourage others.

It’s not just in my personal correspondence with those who work with me in written spiritual direction or the Journal Gently program, but even in the idea that I have chosen to focus on email as my main way to connect with you all outside of this podcast, rather than social media or video.

And so this week, I wanted to share with you a letter I wrote to my friends shortly after Thanksgiving, which I feel is rather relevant now, a few days after Christmas. Because grief has a way of… well, getting in the way. And I wanted to take a moment to address that, to share a personal experience with you, and to offer some journal prompts to help you discern what to do with such grief.

So here is my letter to you.
