SUMMARY:Dead parents club: a virtual grief circle
DESCRIPTION:Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird\, it’s heavy\, it’s lonely — and a lot of people don’t know how to talk about it.\nDead Parents Club is a virtual grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where you don’t have to sugarcoat it. No one’s going to rush you\, try to fix you\, or flinch when you talk about the hard stuff.\nWe’ll begin with a short grounding — a few moments to connect with your body and breath — and then we’ll open the circle. The rest of the 90 minutes are yours: to share\, to listen\, to cry\, to sit in silence. Whatever you need. There’s no pressure to speak\, and no need to perform your grief in any particular way.\nThis space is about showing up as you are. Whether your loss is new or decades old\, whether you’re feeling raw\, numb\, angry\, relieved\, or all of it at once — you’re welcome here. Though if your grief is still very fresh and raw\, know that this isn’t a support group in the clinical sense.\n🖤 Bring:\n– Tea\, a notebook\, a candle\, or just yourself\n– Your grief\, however it shows up that day\n– A willingness to be in the room\nWe don’t have answers. We’re not here to fix anything. Grief needs space to breathe — without judgment\, without rush. That’s what we’re offering.\ne-mail hello@yourmorbidfriends.com if cost is a barrier

SUMMARY:TalkDeath Book Club: “From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire” by Sarah Jaffe
DESCRIPTION:TalkDeath’s next book club read will be “From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire” by Sarah Jaffe\n⁠\n🔥We are joyed to share that the generous folks at AK Press are very kindly offering our book club members a 30% discount if they order their copy through AK Press 🔥⁠\n⁠\n“Our era is one of significant and substantial loss\, yet we barely have time to acknowledge it. The losses range from the personal grief of a single COVID death to the planetary disaster wrought by climate change. We are in an age of unraveling hopes and expectations\, of dreams curtailed\, of aspirations desiccated. What can we do? This is capitalism’s death phase. It has become clear that the cost of wealth creation for a few is enormous destruction for others. The marginalized and the vulnerable have been feeling the crisis for a long time\, but it is increasingly coming for all of us. At the same time\, we are denied the means of mourning the futures that are being so brutally curtailed. ⁠\n⁠\nAt such a moment\, taking the time to grieve is a radical act. Through in-depth reporting intertwined with memoir\, Sarah Jaffe (author of Work Won’t Love You Back) shows how public memorialization has become more than a refusal or a protest: it is a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to mourn the lives\, the homes\, the worlds we have lost\, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future.”⁠\n⁠\n💀All new signups will be sent a welcome email with a link to join our Discord\, the discount code\, and more within 2-3 business days Monday through Friday. Join us talkdeath.com/bookclub⁠
