Today is National Grief Awareness Day, commemorated annually to showcase the variety of ways all of us cope with grief and loss, and offer support to those in the midst of doing so themselves.
Here at Pongo, we know that grief can be a debilitating experience, disconnecting us from the very people and resources that can help us move beyond pain and sorrow. And from our work, we’re intimately familiar with the power of poetry writing to help us make sense of such difficult experiences, and begin to chart a path forward.
In honor of the occasion, we encourage you to make use of “Letter After a Time” a writing prompt we use in our own youth poetry workshops, to reflect on someone important in your life who is no longer with us.
And should you feel comfortable, we invite you to share your poem and @pongopoetry in the post. In doing so, you can help remind everyone that grief doesn’t need to be a solitary burden, and that those in the midst of it are not alone in their suffering.
