COMMUNITY GRIEF TENDING
What makes an experience traumatic, in addition to the pain of the encounter, is the absence of an adequate holding environment capable of supporting us in these times. Pain itself is not pathological. The pathology emerges from the isolation that all too often surrounds our experience.
What we needed in these times were attuned and attentive individuals who could sense the distress we were experiencing and offer us assurance, soothing and a safe touch to help us re-modulate our inner states. A holding environment is a form of ritual ground, within which we can pour our grief, fear, and pain and trust that it will be held.
