Grief Rituals and Ancestral-Healing Inquiries

Below are some inquiries that practitioners may ask themselves in relation to their role in end-of-life grief rituals, death, when a therapy participant passes on in their care, processing loss, or existential climate anxiety. These inquiries invite practitioners to consider when working with people who are actively transitioning:

What might be some of the differences between traditional psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theories and that of a decolonial and ancestral framework? What are their relevance to healing and therapy?

What might transitioning clients need from me? How can I help support their process and where they are?

How can the community support the family and loved ones, prior to the transition?

What might sessions that include regenerative themes of repair, healing storytelling, and geopolitical awareness while discussing grief and loss within your therapeutic practices feel like?

Identify what people, places, and identities are most vulnerable to climate anxiety and climate change, and why.

Identify how legacies of oppression, displacement, enslavement, and genocide connect to how we support death today.

Provide grief rituals that promote healthy expressions of grief and ancestral resilience.
