Grief lives in the body. How to release grief from your body when the world is breaking your heart: why the chest closes, and a somatic release to open it. There is grief you haven't had time to feel, because there is always the next thing. The next headline, the next fire, the next neighbor taken from their home. So it waits in your chest. You release grief from your body by giving it what it needs to move: time, steady touch, and long exhales that you don't force. A slow ho
