It's time to talk about ecological grief. Ecological grief is the grief that’s felt in response to experienced or anticipated ecological loss. It may arise from acute environmental disasters or from experiencing the loss of land, species, or even bodies of water. It doesn't have to feel hopeless though, we can use our personal experiences with grief to come together and build up our communities. At the end of this episode, we give our listeners a little 10-minute exercise to practice discussing ecological grief with those closest to you, also check out @ubcclimatehub's photo series on "Strategies to move through and beyond climate anxiety," it really helped us!
