Offerings is part of a processual research project examining grief, loss, and mourning that is written and produced by social worker and author Jessica Dore. Through both text and audio formats, Offerings reports insights that revolve around two central themes:
The ways significant relational losses—bereavements, break-ups, life-altering diagnoses or chronic health conditions, climate disasters, pandemics—despite all their differences, can illuminate and affirm the relational nature of identity, and
how the stories we tell to ourselves and each other about grief, loss, and mourning affect what we go through and what it can all come to mean.
Offerings is entirely reader and listener supported. Newsletters are sent weekly-ish and are accessible in full for paying subscribers, and in part for for free subscribers. Paying subscribers also receive priority access to live events with limited space, including Sunday Meetings, workshops, and one-on-one sessions.
About the author
I am a licensed social worker, narrative therapist, oral storyteller, friend, daughter, sister, primary companion to a young dog, and aspiring horse woman. I’ve worked in the psychology and self-help field since 2010 in various capacities from editorial to clinical.
My first book, Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth interprets Pamela Colman Smith’s Rider-Waite-Smith tarot using ideas from behavioral and analytic psychologies and was called “wise, generous, and gently radical” by The New York Times Book Review. With artist Xaviera López, I also co-created The Change Tarot. I live and work in coastal New England.
