Grief in the Age of the Masculine

Masculine-dominant cultures are terrible at grieving, whether it's actual loss of life or the decaying of institutions, ideas, hopes, futures -- and that's by design.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the recent loss of her dad, Vanessa explores grief as an opportunity to deepen into the feminine. Whether personal loss or collective, if grief is love with nowhere to go, maybe we can give it some direction.
