The sudden death of a loved one can shake us to our core, leaving us feeling lost and overwhelmed. While grief is a universal human experience, the process of healing can take different forms for each individual. In this blog post, we explore the compassionate and reflective principles of Mahayana Buddhism and the practical techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as means to navigate the sorrow that emerges from losing a loved one. Through Mahayana Buddhism, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of the nature of suffering and gradually reduce our attachment to the person we lost. Meanwhile, CBT offers practical tools to address the cognitive and emotional aspects of grief, helping us develop healthy coping strategies and build resilience. By combining these approaches, we can find solace, healing, and a renewed sense of meaning as we journey through the grieving process.
