Grief is a natural reaction to loss. We all encounter it, whether it be the death of someone we love or the many other experiences of change and disappointment that occur all too frequently in our lives. Experiencing the worldwide pandemic is one such example. In this session we will examine grief in the context of Buddhist teachings and learn how we might truly grow from our encounters with one of life’s most difficult emotions.
