Description
The next step in grief in this Part III of our election series is depression, which may feel worse today because it’s a holiday in pandemic, and it doesn’t look like what we’re used to. With social distancing protocols, many lives lost to this disease, and a third surge with no end in sight, we could dive right into depression, the next stage of grief, but today we choose gratitude. It’s not one of the stages of grief, so here we go replacing it! December will be our mental health series, so stay tuned for that.We have to acknowledge the role of colonialism and white supremacy in the origin story of this holiday, and how gratitude isn’t a holiday sentiment: it’s daily Muslim practice. Let’s call the bleaching of American history what it is and share what we still hold onto of ourselves despite it. Reflect on Surah Rahman and the joys, big and small, of 2020.
