An ecosystem of stories, grief rituals, and quiet revolutions.
A threshold for those becoming.
Welcome, Seekers and Sojourners
Grief is not the end. It is a beginning: raw, honest, alive.
This is a space for those who’ve lost something, or everything. For those who refuse to numb out or move on.
For those who want to turn their pain into purpose, art, or quiet revolution.
Here, we don’t fix grief. We compost it. We write it. We ritualize it. We honor it.
You’ll find stories, tools, dispatches, and offerings for navigating loss- personal, political, ecological, and ancestral.
This is where grief meets imagination, where you’re invited to change shape.
Welcome to Grief and Liberation. A portal for the ones who are still becoming.

Meet the Spiritfarer
I’m Michelle Carrera, writer, grief worker, and spiritfarer. I work at the edges of death, memory, ecology, and transformation.
Rooted in Borikén, my work is shaped by lineage, rupture, and reverence for human and more-than-human life.
Through essays, obituaries, zines, and speculative grief fiction, I explore mourning as a force of reckoning and renewal.
I write altars. I write thresholds. I write to compost the unspeakable into language that liberates.
My primary portal is writing, shared freely. At times, I also hold a limited number of 1:1 grief companioning spaces.
Other Forms This Work Takes
At times, this work opens into other forms:
grief companioning, obituary writing, collaborative projects, workshops, and ritual objects. Availability shifts. Writing remains the constant.
