Meditation + Talk: Three Ways to Live with Loss
April 19, 2025

How Do We Live With Loss?

Whether it’s the heartbreak of losing a loved one, the gradual loss of health or ability, the rupture of a relationship, or even the loss of a future we once hoped for — grief touches all of us. And yet, so often we bear it alone, ashamed, stoic, or simply overwhelmed.

So this week in my free Wednesday talk series, I focused on how to live well, even while facing what feels unbearable. I shared five key factors that help steady the mind — intention, relaxation, warmth of heart, releasing anxiety, and positive emotion — and how they can support us through the grieving process.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
