Here’s today’s question: What does Buddhism say about dealing with grief? Grief is something we all experience at some point in life.

One listener asked, “I’ve recently had a few folks die and I am trying to give myself space to have this new emotional experience but also be strong, move forward, help others and be happy. What should I do?”

Another listener wrote, “What does Buddhism teach about grieving about sudden death and the trauma that comes with it?”

Today we’ll discuss the Buddhist view that life and death are one.
