"If we are able to see that loss can teach us and fear can reveal our
edges and priorities, we can begin to understand that grief is part of a
natural process of transformation, and more so now, as we face radical
uncertainty. We also can discover that healthy grieving can be
relational, and in other societies grieving and mourning are shared
experiences. So being transparent with others about our grief can be
transformative. We can also explore how our ancestors grieved. Every
culture has its own rich and deep history of rituals of transformation
-- and ours is like a treasure house waiting to be rediscovered."
