Grief is a powerful force that connects us to what matters most and fuels the fight for justice and liberation. By embracing grief, we can transform personal pain into purpose and create collective change.

In the midst of a relentless polycrisis, grief can feel isolating and overwhelming. Here are practices to help us hold and honor this collective sorrow together, finding resilience in community.

In times of uncertainty, taking steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones has never been more vital. For LGBTQ individuals, having key documents—like power of attorney, advanced directives, and a simple will—can ensure our wishes are honored, even when our partnerships or chosen families might not otherwise be recognized. By preparing these documents now, we can face the future with greater peace, knowing that our rights, our love, and our legacy are protected.

This time of year, traditions around the world call us to remember and reconnect with those who have gone before us. To do so is to understand that their journey is still happening through us. Their struggles, loves, losses, and dreams continue, pulsing through our veins, influencing the paths we walk and the causes we stand for. They are a part of us, and we are a part of them.

Grief can be our greatest guide as activists, leading us to deeper connection and clarity. By embracing the losses we face—both personal and collective—we can find a path to liberation, caring for the world even as it transforms beyond recognition.

Grief can be a powerful force for transformation, guiding us through the darkest moments toward personal growth and activism. Explore how embracing grief can lead to inner liberation, inspire change, and foster a deeper connection to the world around us.
