Ep. 16: Grief - Turning towards loss

In this episode, the hosts engage in a dialogue about grief understood as a personal response of turning towards the losses that we experience. Grief is a quintessential human experience that reveals an experienced loss of the value of life- we may grieve over the loss of a person dear to us, a pet, a dream that we did not have the chance to fulfill, a valuable possibility,  and even the loss of ourselves. Anything that we experience as personally valuable gives rise to grief once we lose it. Given the omnipresence of grief in our lives, this episode will focus on how to turn towards our losses intentionally, how to make space for grieving, and how to support those who are grieving. As painful as it feels, grief is, in fact, a way to reconnect with life and with the value of life in the aftermath of a loss.
