Framework · Seasons of Shalom · 03
Grieving
Honoring loss without rushing past it.
A season, not a stage
The Seasons of Shalom are recurring practices rather than a linear program. A community may inhabit more than one season at the same time, and may return to a season whenever faithful life requires it.
The practice
Make room to name what has ended, what has been wounded, and what cannot simply be recovered before imagining what comes next.
Use the framework as discernment.
The work is not to move forward as quickly as possible, but to notice which practices are needed now and to inhabit them faithfully.
