What can the seasons teach us about grief? 

 We all are grieving something, and winter just seems like the perfect time to do that. Folk wisdom tells us that the sharpest phase of grief must be weathered for a full year and a day, and this prescript seems strangely accurate, as though loss must be carried through all four seasons before its weight begins to lighten and life goes on. Each of the losses we carry begin to add up and the weight of grief’s burden can become too much. Our bodies become exhausted carrying the grief around with us.

Listen to Marianne share mythology and traditions as well as nature's own rhythm and what is has to teach us: 

Grief will pass. Winter will pass. The months, the seasons, the world will turn. We relearn joy throughout our lives. The land lifts and sustains us.

And spring has sprung.
