Understanding Eco-Grief

Eco-grief names a profoundly human response to the times we are living in.

It is not a pathology, but an expression of care for the Earth, arising when we feel the impact of ecological loss, change, and uncertainty on the living systems we belong to.

When we slow down and listen to what grief asks of us, it can become a source of compassion, meaning, and even awakening rather than something to suppress or overcome.

You are not alone in feeling this.

What We Mean by Eco-Grief

Eco-grief can include sorrow, anger, fear, helplessness, confusion, and longing. It may surface suddenly, or linger quietly beneath daily life.

Feeling eco-grief does not mean something is wrong with you. On the contrary, it is a sign that you are operating the way you were designed to operate. Experiencing this grief reflects attentiveness, sensitivity, and care in a time of profound transformation.

Why Listening Matters

When grief is ignored or rushed past, it often turns into numbness, burnout, or despair. Meeting it instead helps us stay present to grief's gifts, opening us up to new dimensions of being.

Ways of Meeting Eco-Grief

Eco-grief is not something to solve. It is something to meet, slowly, relationally, and with care.
