We’ve been conditioned to not hold space for people in the toughest of times and I have a real issue with this because many of us come from lineages where community, healing, and mourning with one another was prioritized. Where we had elders and a village to lean on for strength. To me we need to decolonize this mindset. We wouldn’t have half of the mental health issues we have if people didn’t feel like they had to suffer alone or if we didn’t expect this of people.
