@MillsDr92320 @EliotJacobson I relate to this. @andrewboyd’s new book, “I Want a Better Catastrophe: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief, Hope and Gallows Humor” has an excellent chapter using the 5 stages of Grief. You and he both articulated this well.

I’m on a coast-to-coast stand-up tragedy roadshow. It’s a cross between a TED talk, comedy hour, fire-side chat, grief counseling session, and “what can I (still) do?” workshop. Would love to see you there. bettercatastrophe.com/tour #bettercatastrophe
