Mourning & Loss – Christine Valters Paintner
“The Orphan calls us to wake up, let go of our illusions, and face painful realities. We all have losses and catastrophes, we all carry grief that has gone unmourned, that has been pushed away.”
— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Illuminating the Way: Embracing the Wisdom of Monks and Mystics
Where are the places where your unmourned griefs and sorrows lie? Can you open up and begin to embrace them as part of who you are?
