Dalai Lama: The Nature of Grief

A video featuring the Dalai Lama discussing the nature of grief and its impact on individuals.

These are some resources that I have used or had recommended to me.  As with all things, please consider them with your discretion, if they suit you, I hope they help. If not, put them aside.  Life is an individual journey and there is no “one size fits all” model.
