"...before anything can change we have to grieve. I wonder about that, as I see so many people anxious and worried over so many things. So many people ready to spiral into dismay or to lash out at the so-called “other.” Is it really that we all need to grieve our losses, our communal losses together? But where? And how? We aren’t leaving space for that to happen, nor offering the solidarity it demands."
