We are unified as humans by the inevitability of loss  - the death of loved ones, the end of relationships, the shattering of dreams. And with loss, there will be grief. Instead of resisting, what miracles might come if we soften, surrender and open? Grief is a fierce and loving teacher, a guide to what's most true in the center. As the Persian poet Rumi recommends, let it crack our hearts wide open. That’s how the light of love gets in.

    The calmness of this person was what drew me in. I am 88 years old and have thoughts about death. May the people behind me find a person like this to help deal with grace.

    The gentle way of speaking about surrender to the process of grieving was lovely to witness. And the reminder too of the power in witnessing. ♡
