"Someone I know once gave me a box of darkness.
It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift."
From The Uses of Sorrow, Mary Oliver

It’s human instinct to turn away from the things we fear most. But to shut out the pain of grief – past, present or anticipatory - is to miss an opportunity for radical growth and healing. Drawing parallels between personal grief and ecological grief, Liz Jensen - novelist, founder-member of XR Writers Rebel, and mother of the young activist Iggy Fox who died suddenly in February 2020 - reflects on the importance of honouring our rawest and most disturbing feelings in order to find resilience, empowerment, and imaginative new ways to inhabit this unprecedented era.
