We are discussing how grief can bring communities together, foster empathy, compassion and collective transformation. It is through supporting each other through grief and having these conversations that grief becomes something that we can embrace rather than run from.

Things we discuss:

• remembering as leaders the importance of looking after ourselves
• how the city and community offered supports
• time to shut the door and just be alone with our thoughts
• how quickly and efficiently support can come (55 counsellors overnight)
• how people step up - the perfect people with unique and special gifts
• importance of being together and talking
• collective grief and how it brought people closer together, those relationships continue
• personal losses and the importance of supporting those families
• everyone has their right to grieve, especially our youth
• Kevin's personal experience with spiritual energy and how it helped him heal
• our connection to faith or God is so powerful and helpful in loss

A special thank you to Kevin Garinger for having the open conversation so that you can benefit from his compassion, understanding, insight and wisdom.
