Granules of Grief with Refiloe
by Refiloe Letokoto
Around 8 pm on May 23rd, 2019, my soul ruptured when my grandmother breathed her last in ICU at Queen’ Mamohato Hospital in Lesotho. It was a bludgeoning of the spirit unlike anything I had ever known, and even then, I had known pain. Before I turned sixteen, I had lost both my parents and other beloved members of my close-knit family. But, losing my last living guardian, my sounding board, my mentor, the “parent” I had had the longest, plunged me into a kind of death that ultimately compelled me to go on a journey to explore the depths of grief. Come with me on Granules of Grief with Refiloe as I explore grief with others worldwide who have, too, lost someone to whom they were deeply attached. Some are yet to claw their way back to some patched-up form of being in the world after their loss, while some have, somehow, found a version of living that is somewhat closer to the aliveness they had before their loss. All― hopefully―have something valuable for both those who have grieved in t
