Mmm, yes. Thanks for the share, brother, and for wading into uncharted waters. Grief is a theme I've been slowly turning more attention to, though not yet with the intentionality it sounds like you have. A quote here from Quanita Roberson (https://player.fm/series/series-2603509/ep-123-the-inner-work-of-facilitation-with-quanita-roberson) that nicely weaves some of the themes you explore in this newsletter (I would add anger to her list, as a secondary emotion):
“We mistake shame, blame, and guilt as emotions. But they are not. They are where we go to hide from emotions... We think we are taking responsibility when we sit with the shame and guilt, but actually we are dodging responsibility for what lies beneath... Which is usually deep grief.”
