Definitely an important and timely topic, but as I was struggling to deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/tempest\/2020\/06\/grief-the-witch.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\" decorated-link\">some of my own grief,<\/a> I wasn\u2019t exactly sure how to best address it for others. So I sat with it for a while, contemplating.\u00a0 As I started up the Witchual Workout series last week, the subject came bubbling up again, so I felt it was time to dig in.<\/p>\n<p>So this episode touches upon dealing with grief. Not just loss from death, but other kinds of grief we are all experiencing right now. I think it\u2019s vital to understand that nearly everyone is working through a kind of grief.\u00a0 Loss of plans, of jobs, of need to find new solutions to things you thought were solved, etc. These all take a toll on us, and most people don\u2019t even realize it.\u00a0 When you consider the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), you\u2019ll see exactly what I mean present in the world around us.<\/p>\n<p>Links and more below after the video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"6 Minutes of Witchcraft with Laura Tempest Zakroff: Dealing with Grief\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NPbwklsmMB0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some links and resources:<\/p>\n<p>The Cauldron of Motion deals with what moves us, matters of the heart.
