MotherGrief

著者: Sarah St. John
  • サマリー

  • On MotherGrief, we delve into how all forms of grief and loss—whether clear-cut or ambiguous—shape and transform our lives. We explore the profound act of grieving well, offering a space to reframe and redefine the grief experiences of mothers.

    Through grief literacy, grief education, and simply allowing ourselves to inhabit the sacred space of grief, this show serves maidens, mothers, and wise women alike—those who create, nurture, and hold life on this earth.

    Here, you will find a place to exhale, to be witnessed in your sorrow, and to be acknowledged in your hardships. This is a sanctuary for grievers, where your experience is honored and your pain is recognized.

    Grief has woven itself into the fabric of Sarah St. John’s life in profound and unexpected ways—from the sudden, heartbreaking loss of her two younger brothers, to the silent sorrows of multiple miscarriages. The more elusive forms of grief have also left their mark: the loss of safety following illness, and the subtle, yet powerful, shifts in identity as she journeyed through matrescence.

    Sarah believes that grief carries deep wisdom, and through MotherGrief, she hopes to guide you in discovering the golden threads nestled within the clouds of sorrow. We will turn to nature as our teacher, using it as a metaphor for the life-death cycle, always reminding you that grief is not something to "heal" or eliminate. Grief is love turned inside out—something to plant, nurture, move through, harvest, and allow to compost into new life.
