The article highlights the concept of ecological grief, a response to the irreversible damage caused by climate change. Experts, including psychologist Alexandra Stratyner and therapist Saba Harouni Lurie, describe how extreme weather events and the loss of nature lead to feelings of helplessness, sadness, and anger. This grief can stem from mourning lost wildlife, landscapes, and cultural sites threatened by climate change. Recognizing and managing eco-grief is presented as crucial for mental health and well-being, encouraging individuals to confront their emotions effectively.
It's more and more difficult to deny or to look away as summers go from being a time of rest, relaxation, and pleasure to a time where the weather is so extreme that you can't go outside.
Ecological grief, or eco-grief, is the despair you feel when you lose places, species, and landscapes that are important to you.
