In case of interest, I wrote a short piece for Welldoing called ‘5 surprising things about grief’ (as a prelude to my next book on grief, out in May).
Grief is love
Grief is presence
Grief speaks
Grief wants fresh air
Grief grows you

It’s done. After 5 yrs. Manuscript for “Running Off The Map” went off y’day to be typeset & dressed as a book.
It’s an end to the editing & the beginning of sharing the story of a life transition.
Inspired by @RobGMacfarlane incredible “The Wild Places” 🙏🏻

Which cover design do you prefer? (from young Canadian designer Benita Thompson, for a book which took a year to run & 5 yrs to write). Inspired by @RobGMacfarlane “Wild Places”, in 2019 I ran a trail marathon each month, between one winter & the next, to get ‘mentally sober’.

Feeling bad about feeling bad?
What if your anger is a source of justice? Your anxiety is a call to action? Your grief is a path to connecting with others? What if you stop “trying to be happy” and listen to & trust your experience as it happens?
Thoughts from “Night Vision”…

Pressure can knock your thinking-brain into touch. You (over)react.
R.O.C.K is a simple way back:
R. Regulate: press feet into the ground & breathe out.
O. Orientate. What can you see, hear, feel?
C. Communicate. Say what you need.
K. Kindness. Assume the best.

In #grief - or just going thru any challenging time - sometimes all the well-meaning advice and techniques don’t get through.
That’s probably why this is my favourite page in “Grief, loss & how to cope”: The Power of ‘Up Yours’.

As we mourn #QueenElizabeth - an amazing role model for us all - we may find the loss unsettling. Death reminds us of our own limits.
#Grief invites us to consider our own example, values & legacy.

Is there something in your heart you want to do?
Step into it. Team up. Speak up. Trust the process.
18 yrs ago this week a tiny idea I had about mentoring young people became something called “Lifespace”. Volunteer mentors have now helped 3000 young people. #mentalhealth

To all the people who have worked with Lifespace over the past 18 years thank you! 💙

As the heat continues…
When we hear the word #grief we might think first about human grief. But as philosopher Glenn Albrecht says, there is a grief we feel about loss of species, habitats, nature.
