Grief takes many forms, and travel, or 'griefcation', can serve as a healing step in the grieving journey. A griefcation can vary from commemorative trips to one's favorite places to contemplative journeys focused on introspection. Experts note that traveling while grieving may help individuals escape societal pressures and feelings of loneliness. While it may not be suitable for everyone, many find that such travels provide the opportunity to connect with others who have experienced similar losses, reducing daily stress and fostering healing.
"Many grieving people feel a desire to get away for a while, whether to escape the crushing pressure of 'getting back to normal' that society often puts on grievers, the loneliness of a house without a loved one, or to help themselves feel less stuck."
"Grief travel has been a way for me to reduce the volume of my normal daily tasks - like work, errands, and chores - and listen more closely to what my grief wants and needs."
