From Dias de los Muertos, Christmas, Diwali, and Lunar New Year, to Mother’s Day, …grief shows up, +1. Holidays tend to involve observance, remembrance, and/or celebration of something significant. They tend to have their own language, symbols, and practice or ritual especially influenced by your upbringing, cultural background, and/or religious practices. How does your relationship to various holidays shift in response to grief?

"Grief comes in every season, but for me, the winters feel so much more unbearable without all my people gathered around the table. My piece is dedicated to anyone who has ever lost something, someone, and/or themselves." - Briana Simmons

Grief At The Table is a compilation of short stories, poems, prose, recipes, and art work from end of life professionals and Starlight PAUSE Business Residency cohort members as a collaborative offering for a soft place to land throughout the holiday season.
