What does it mean to grieve, and how does that process shape who we become?
In this In The Flow episode of Mind Sattva: Practical Wisdom for Modern Life, Dr. Mitika Kanabar reflects on grief through personal experience, cultural understanding, and the meeting of Eastern and Western perspectives. After losing her father, she reflects on what the experience has taught her about love, loss, and the ongoing nature of grief.
Drawing from her medical background and spiritual roots, Mitika revisits the work of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, whose book On Death and Dying introduced the five stages of grief.
