Grieving The World

It seems the intensity of world events political, ecological, economic, might be the greatest many of us have felt in our lifetime.  We experience this as loss: we are losing our security in how things used to be (or how we perceived them), our trust in what we hoped for. As a result we are anxious, fearful, angry at the state of our country and the world. This is a loss that we need to honor in the same way we’d honor the loss of any loved one.  What lessons can we take from our path of personal grieving to apply to our grief for the world?
