Playfulness of Grief: Letting your inner child lead
from Halva for the Heart: Dying and Grieving in Diaspora · host Misha | Hafez Death Care
In this episode of Halva for the Heart, we explore a radically different approach to grief—one that invites your inner child to lead the way. I share how my own grief has shown up in playful ways—like dancing with the memory of my mother—and offer an invitation for you to imagine your grief as a childhood friend asking you out on a “play date.”If you’ve ever longed for a lighter, more curious way to be in relationship with loss, this episode offers a gentle doorway into play, wonder, and childlike connection with your grief.Upcoming eventsIn Seoul: Poetic Play Grief Ritual with Mallory Dowd on September 7Register at https://ritual.hafezdeathcare.comOnline: Fibers of Grief every first Thursday of the monthRegister at https://fibers.hafezdeathcare.com If you'd like to share what this episode brought up for you...Leave me a 90 second voice noteMessage me on InstagramSend me an emailLearn more about my work at my website www.hafezdeathcare.comSubscribe to my weekly newsletter🎵 Theme song: 'Lullaby' by Iranian oud player Negâr Boubân
