Let's Chat... Environmental and Ecological Grief (with Dr Kriss Kevorkian)
The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss07/26/22 • 37 min
#042. Did you know you can feel 'environmental or ecological grief'? Find out more in this episode about what it is and who is feeling it.
Welcome to Let’s Chat... These episodes pop-up occasionally instead of one of our 101 different losses, as I (Claire Sandys, one of the co-hosts of The Silent Why podcast) chat to a guest who has experience or expertise in a particular area that can help us deal with, or prepare for, loss.
In this Let’s Chat... we hear from Dr Kriss Kevorkian about Environmental and Ecological Grief.
And I'm building a toolkit, well actually a whole tool shed, of equipment to help us face loss. So I'm very keen to see what each guest adds to my new shed.
Kriss lives in beautiful Gig Harbour, Washington, and holds a doctoral degree in Thanatology and a Masters in Social Work, but she also specialises in Eco/Climate Thanatology.
Kriss is an expert in grief, death and dying and has worked hard to become a leading authority on environmental and ecological grief. She is no stranger to loss and grief in her personal life, and since seeing them on a seventh grade field trip, has a great passion for whales which has led her to study and research the decline of the Southern Resident Orcas in the Salish Sea.
We chat grief, nature, whales, how we can all do our bit, why it’s important and lots more.
For those who haven't heard of the Salish Sea, it's an inland sea of the Pacific Ocean located in British Columbia, Canada. It's 440 kilometres (270 miles) long, contains more than 400 islands, has a very active marine ecosystem, diverse community of kelp species, glass sponge reefs, 253 fish species and 172 bird species.
