Grief is a recognition of endings, and endings are a natural part of life. Knowing that things inevitably end can energize us—it’s a reminder to not waste a moment, to step into our life and live it with integrity and purpose. But endings can also be painful, uncomfortable, and difficult to work through.
In a conversation moderated by Mindful’s Vice President Operations Amanda Hester, Frank Ostaseski and Vinny Ferraro explore how we can journey through grief and meet endings with resilience and self-compassion.
