Relationship Loss Grief

How do we add to archives of ecological memory? How can we notice and document what’s missing in the landscapes closest to us? In her debut essay collection, Laura Marris reframes environmental loss by setting aside the catastrophic framework of the Anthropocene in favor of that of the Eremocene, the age of loneliness, which is marked by the dramatic thinning of wildlife populations and by isolation between and among species.

This book is your compassionate and comforting guide throughout the healing process—an understanding companion as you explore the depths of your grief. The journey to peace and recovery starts here.

«Para algunos de ustedes la palabra adiós es el desafío de su vida. Pasar por esto es pasar por tiempos de furiosa soledad, de pena que drena la fortaleza. Duermes solo en una cama para dos. Te mueves por tu casa en medio de un aplastante silencio. Te sorprendes pronunciando su nom¬bre o tratando de tomarle la mano, o buscándolo en la cama durante la noche. La separación ha agotado tu espíritu. Te sientes aislado como si estuvieras en cuarentena. El resto del mundo sigue adelante; tú anhelas hacer lo mismo. Pero no pue¬des; no puedes decir adiós…»

These three ‘Consolations', written by Seneca to his mother and two friends, have been described as ‘the crowning achievement in the canon of ‘consolation letters'. But sentimental they are not, for they emerge from the writer's deep-seated commitment to Stoicism, where individuals are exhorted to inhabit qualities of virtue, positivity, resilience, and indifference. This recording opens with Seneca's consolatory letter to Marcia, who, after three years, was still mourning the death of her son.

Grief. We avoid talking about it. We avoid thinking about it. However, every one of us who lives long enough will experience it. Since you are interested in this, you are likely experiencing grief at this moment. It is also likely you’ve given little thought as to how you were going to cope with grief when it came to you, and the pain caught you off guard. In Grief 2 Growth, Brian Smith explores what grief is, what you can expect while in grief, and how you can best cope with the universal human experience of grief. Grief is not an emotion.
