Day 32: Rage & Anger & Grief
Francis Weller’s words have helped reveal to me all the ways to be in relationship with rage and anger.
I welcome rage into my sessions. Rage is unprocessed grief that needs to be seen and cared for. It needs space to exist, and then melt into the grief that it is.
I welcome anger into my sessions and into my life. Anger is a relational process, revealing how our boundaries have been crossed, and is a way of telling our stories about what is so important to us and who we are. Healthy anger leads to intimacy and serves the greater good. Healthy anger IS NOT intimidation. Intimidation is not relational—it pushes away, breaks bonds.

Welcome to my second, 100-day project. I hope to provide a daily offering on something grief-related. I am a grief therapist and educator working with people in Oregon, Washington, DC, Maryland, and Maine. This feed is in honor of each person who has trusted me with their stories and wisdom during their grief journey. I hope that others may benefit from simple and straightforward talk about a topic that can be difficult.
