Whether we be in personal grief or not, we all carry and hold in some way the pain of global distress, crises, and suffering. We have feelings of powerlessness, anger, fear, and sadness. They may be close to the surface or deep within. We carry on with life, for we can only consciously be with this sorrow so much.

The spiritual practice of lament gives us a way to welcome the pain and grief intentionally and allow it to express, rather than trying to keep it contained within. This form of mourning gives us space to let the grief flow however it needs to—as a rushing torrent or a trickling rivulet.
