Listen "Notes on living while breaking (the tender work of carrying grief)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Katarina and Patrick reflect on a luminous piece by Jennifer Edewaard, whose writing captures grief with rare tenderness and precision. Her work, Living While Breaking, is a meditation on what it means to carry what cannot be fixed — and to keep living with a heart that refuses to harden.Jennifer’s lines open the door to a quiet, powerful conversation about the nature of mourning, the rituals that hold us together, and the gentle resistances that help us stay soft in a world that often asks us to be otherwise.We explore the truth that grief doesn’t disappear; it changes us. It becomes a companion, a teacher, a presence that shapes how we see love, time, memory, and God. And we speak about the small mercies that help us continue — the acts of tenderness that remind us something still grows.Jennifer’s original piece can be found here.
