Grief is a natural response to the ongoing loss we experience when someone close leaves us or dies. The shock of separation and bereavement is often accompanied by feelings of intense sadness, distress or anger. In this weekend, using meditation and reflections, we look at ways to be with our sorrow and to understand change and impermanence. Although our loss cannot be replaced, and we never forget, we can heal the pain of grief. This weekend is also for those who have experienced loss in various ways, not just through death.
