Your references to Kate Bowler’s writings reminds me very much of Megan Devine’s concepts on learning to carry the grief we’re experiencing rather than getting over it or rid of it. She offers “grief support that doesn’t suck” at refugeingrief.com, if you’re interested. I find her work helpful. In my early grief (my daughter also died), I had a similar experience of not finding comfort with other early grievers. Thanks for sharing your experiences here. I’m going to do something similar, so you’ll probably hear from me again!
Thanks Monica. Megan Devine’s journal How to carry what can’t be fixed and her book It’s ok if you’re not ok we’re two of the first grief resources I turned to. I’m so sorry your daughter died. Good luck with your Substack. I hope you find comfort in writing and sharing your grief.
