SEDONA, Ariz. — Grief can be isolating, even with support from family and friends. But there are now more spaces across the country for people to find community through loss.“Beauty and pain coexist here. You know, this is the place where they intersect,” said the farm’s founder Joanne Cacciatore.The animals were rescued from neglect. Some are injured, and some have lost their babies. People come here from all over the world after losing a child, sibling, friend or spouse.
"This is the place you come and your child is going to be talked about and remembered and loved,” said Liz Castleman, who lost her son, Charlie. But more spaces and retreats like this farm, and groups online, are becoming available for group grief healing, and many in the wake of the pandemic.
