This resonated so much with me today. October is the month where I am leaving what has been my home & community for the last 4 years. So much grief as I’ve watched my community in St. Petersburg become devastated from the hurricane. So much grief as I prepare to leave the place I’ve grown to love. So much grief as we bear witness to what is happening in Palestine/Lebanon. In all this, I’ve been attempting to trace the origin stories of my biggest life changes as well. Your offerings are incredibly poignant and affirming. Thank you Jessica.
Jessica, this link was shared on Twitter in a thread about writing about grief in relation to what is happening in Palestine. It is from May, however, wanted to share JIC you've not come across. I thought of your year long dialogue on grief & processing ~ https://yalereview.org/article/christina-sharpe-shapes-of-grief?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
