That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief

Scott Berinato
From the article, an interview with David Kessler:

HBR: People are feeling any number of things right now. Is it right to call some of what they’re feeling grief?

Kessler: Yes, and we’re feeling a number of different griefs. We feel the world has changed, and it has. We know this is temporary, but it doesn’t feel that way, and we realize things will be different. Just as going to the airport is forever different from how it was before 9/11, things will change and this is the point at which they changed. The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection. This is hitting us and we’re grieving. Collectively. We are not used to this kind of collective grief in the air.

Service Times

Alternate Sundays:
10 a.m. - Holy Eucharist (BAS)

10 a.m. Morning Prayer (BAS)
Children welcome!

NOTE: As of April 9, 2023, the Parishes of St. Cyprian's, Lacombe and St. John's, Olds, resumed receiving wine at Eucharist from the common cup. If this is uncomfortable for you, please know that you can accept the wafer of bread and then simply touch the base of the chalice of wine, and be deemed to have received the sacrament in both kinds. Coffee hour has been restored at St. Cyprian's parish, with a bit of distancing at the tables. Masks are optional, and a matter of personal choice, including during corporate singing.

Please continue in prayer for leaders at all levels, facing difficult decisions every day, for all on the front lines of health care and emergency response, for all facing illness of any kind, and/or grieving the loss of loved ones for any reason.
