Reclaiming Humanity Through Grief

Reclaiming humanity through grief is necessary for our ability to intentionally create a world that honors each person's humanity. Understanding and having space to grieve and support each other through our grief helps us to connect to our shared humanity. In so many often unconscious ways, we are encouraged to dehumanize ourselves and others. One way this happens is a disconnect from our emotions and especially a lack of understanding and space to honor grief, not just our individual grief but also our communal grief. To rehumanize ourselves and overcome the pressures to dehumanize others, we must allow the space necessary for grief and healing. 

In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring understanding grief and how we can reclaim our humanity through grief.

Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:

• Types of grief: traumatic grief, communal grief and historical grief
• Understanding anger and processing grief
• Algorithms and community
• Discernment in media
• Reclaiming humanity
