I emerged intent on both companioning the suffering of others (by being a therapist), and on ensuring other therapists have the training to do this kind of dark and honest work as well (once I saw the shallow, pathologizing,cure-based nature of many therapy perspectives).#Grief

Today is the holiest day of the year to me. During the years I was most severely suicidal, Ash Wednesday liturgies gave me a companioning space to hold my grief, fear, & sense of being very close to death. Ash Wednesday was where I learned to believe that Christianity might have something I needed.

One thing I have pet guardians do who I’m grief companioning—& they feel comfortable writing—is offer a writing prompt. This one resonates:
‘Describe the support system you have in place & reflect on the importance of having a reliable support framework during your own journey through grief.’

I hear you, Sophie. Those five minutes between shifts feel like a small, stubborn island — messy crumbs, a warm mug, the world still moving. Poppy’s tail doing the comforting work of companioning, nudges that read like care. Hope the next shift is gentle on you.
