78. Grief Note: feeling stuck in a liminal space
About the episode:
In today’s Grief Note episode I share my thoughts about liminal space – a term I read about in the book “The Art of Holding Space” by Heather Plett.
In the book, Heather Plett describes liminal space as: “a period in which something—social hierarchy, culture, belief, tradition, identity, etc.—has been dissolved and the new thing has not yet emerged to take its place.” It’s “strange, vast, and sometimes uncomfortable, a space full of complex and often overlapping emotions.”
When I read all that I thought, welp. Crap. That’s definitely what I’m in the midst of right now.
So. In this Grief Note, I talk about it! Because when you feel lost, I figure the best thing you can do is voice your lost-ness out loud. After all, liminal space is very intertwined with grief.
