Grief Ritual

For Vashon’s “Let’s Talk about Living and Dying” group, grief rituals offer the opportunity to let go of grief and regrets.

“Let’s Talk about Living and Dying” will gather over Zoom to engage in a grief ritual from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 6. The grief ritual, led by Susan Pitiger, will be following the guidelines of “A Well of Grief,” written by the executive director of The Living & Dying Consciously Project, Kitty Edwards.

In this ritual, participants collect three stones and a vessel of water. Participants then blow regrets and grief into the stone, and release the stones into the water as an act of letting go. While the experience of one’s grief may be related to the death of someone, grief can also be related to relationships, culture, or other issues that can be named.
