Dealing With Loss
A talk and practice on how to deal with loss in life.
What Will You Learn?
Embrace Impermanence
Life is ever-changing, and loss is an inevitable part of its natural flow. Accepting this truth can help transform grief into a deeper appreciation of life and love.
Sadness as a Teacher
Rather than resisting sadness, allow yourself to feel it fully. Sadness can deepen emotional understanding and help separate the experience of love and gratitude from thoughts of regret.
Living with Courage
Avoidance of loss may shield from pain but also limits life's richness. Embracing relationships, work, and meaningful experiences with an open heart leads to a fuller, more authentic life despite the risks of loss.
