Making Space For Grief (Talk & Meditation)

This talk begins with an exploration of grief as an expression of deep love, and stories of grief and loss from the pandemic. It continues with guidance on how to hold your grief tenderly, how grief intimately relates to letting go and forgiveness, and how to approach grief practice while staying safe and regulated. While the talk was originally given at Mudita Mindfulness Community at the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the lessons in it are applicable to everyday life.

I’ve been on an antidepressant for about three years after my dad, my husband of 47 years and my mom died within 9 months..

I keep moving forward slowly and one day at a time. Some days are still beautiful while others, not.

You shared a beautiful message and touching stories that somehow calmed me down on a difficult day. Thank you.

Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Yes, grief is an expression of love, and a very wild one, unpredictable. I applaud the tender holding of the grief. One of my learnings: express the grief, then let go and consciously expand as a counterbalance to the contraction of the grief🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I needed this deeply comprehensive exploration of grief and meditation as I am still mourning my most beloved friend who I lost in December. I am grateful for this thoughtful meditation connecting grief and love. It expresses such insight and reveals such thought and care.
