Bound By Loss: grief reading circle | December
The Grief Cure by Cody Delistraty
Theme: Medicalization of Grief, Pharmaceutical Culture, and the Search for a Quick Fix
📅 Circle Date: December 11
To close out the year, we’re reading The Grief Cure by Cody Delistraty — a memoir-meets-cultural-critique that explores how modern systems try to contain or “solve” grief. From Freud to Prozac, Delistraty traces the history of how grief became a pathology — and what it costs us to live in a culture that wants us to “move on” too quickly.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to fix your sadness, this book might name something sacred in you.
🌀 Mini Practice: Grief and Control journaling.
Ask yourself: What parts of my grief have felt unacceptable to others? What am I tired of hiding? What do I want to keep close, no matter what the world says?
Let’s end the year in good company, holding what’s real. Details + signup: lorizaspel.com/links
