3 ways to rewrite how we grieve | Grace Barnes | TEDxUniversityofPretoria
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-09 15:45
Core Message - Grief is not a problem to be solved but an experience to be acknowledged and integrated [3] - Grief is not linear but layered, shapeshifting, and embodied, moving through our bodies [4] - Grief is a universal human experience, not an exception [5] Reframing Grief - Instead of resisting grief, the industry suggests welcoming it as a teacher about love [2][3] - The industry proposes giving grief a name, voice, and purpose, particularly through creative expression like poetry [8][9] - Poetry, with its fragmented and rhythmic nature, provides a language for grief when ordinary words fail [10][11][12] Practical Applications - The industry recommends naming grief, imaging it, and sharing it to create community and lessen loneliness [14][15][16] - The industry encourages a shift in language, replacing "I'm fine" with more honest expressions of grief's weight [17] - Grief is not the opposite of love but another face of love, emphasizing the importance of sitting with grief [18][19]
