What happens when you take a year away from your income generating work to focus, completely, on grief? This is the question Rebecca Feinglos faced at the end of 2021. Grief wasn't new to Rebecca. She was a teenager when her mother died of brain cancer. In March of 2020, on the same day her state shutdown due to COVID, her father died suddenly. In the ensuing months, she ended her marriage. So, at the end of 2021, she was exhausted and empty and unwell. It's common to want the world to stop and to take a break when someone in our lives dies, but we usually dream of escaping from it all. Rebecca did something different, she decided to delve completely into her grief. She blogged about this year of grief exploration and eventually turned the experience into her new organization, GrieveLeave, a community built to support others in learning to grieve all of their losses.
