For this episode, we picked stories and poems that intimately professed our individual relationships with grief and loss. Storytelling has always been an intrinsic part of processing grief. It allows us to recollect the memories of a loved one, to learn about the parts of ourselves that maybe we hadn’t given much attention to. It allows us to build emotional connections with our listeners, who- I believe- will always be able to see themselves in the story being shared.
We hear from Colin Warren sharing a poem honoring a departed local, Jason Esler; Jeremy Pataky sharing a poem reflecting on the loss of our glaciers; Sabrina Simon shares a story in prose about losing her son Jude; and Katy Etterman shares a story about the grief she experienced during her professional career as an acrobat.
Quotes by Martin Prechtel (Grief as Praise), Francis Weller (The Wild Edge of Sorrow) and poem by Rosemary Wahtola Trommer (For When People Ask).
