Thank you, Cameron. I’m carrying the weight in my neck & shoulders and didn’t realize, until this post, that it could be from where we are. Surrounding you with love. 💜
I cannot begin to thank you enough for your reflections. Sometimes I feel so alone in the pain I carry for others. You give me community. It helps. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your diagnosis. I have been feeling tightness in the neck and shoulders combined with headache. Have tried massaging my neck, while wondering what this 'new' pain symptom was telling me.
It’s true, grief needs to be honoured (Canadian here), and it can’t be “fixed” if by fixing we mean trying to get around it. Also the voices of our bodies need to be listened to. I know my own body will often tell me things before my mind is ready to talk about it.
But, that said, alongside being with your grief, you also need to act. The groceries need to be bought. The laundry needs to be done. We have to step back into life, no matter how shakily, even when the heart doesn’t feel ready.
As a Canadian, part of my fury with America right now, and make no mistake, I am furious at America’s betrayal …but a good part of my fury is the hesitation of good people to act. These daily blog posts, and your current Lenten webinar series, are just one window to be looking through , so — of course — challenge this perception if it’s unfair, but your energy seems consumed by trying to sort, and understand, and make sense if what’s happening. Okay. But you need to get to work. You need to act even before you get all your reflection done. “There is no path, the path is made by walking”. Begin. Get out the door and defend your universities, protest Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest, pound on the doors of your representatives. Please. For the live of God, give us something to cheer for.

Thank you for reminding us, Cameron. I read somewhere this take: “Blessed are those who can grieve their losses, for theirs is the path to healing.”

I cry a lot now. I sit with you, as we rest and recharge.
