When a lifelong practitioner of Buddhism, philosophy and healing loses her husband, how does she grieve? Elaine Mansfield observed her own experience, capturing her grief in a beautiful book and ultimately answering the call to support others through their losses as her life's calling. Unafraid to explore each aspect of her experience, the things she noticed about her grief became a book, Leaning into Love, in which she shares her own deep sorrow for the good of others. By the time she faced this most profound death, she knew well how to allow her experience, how to invite it. But this loss pushed her to a new cliff of suffering and, ultimately, a new life. Hear how she led herself to her new understandings and how loss itself became her cornerstone.
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
