When shloshim ends, the first thirty days of mourning in Jewish traditions, those who are the children of the deceased continue mourning for the rest of the year. In contrast to many modern workplace policies of three to five days bereavement time, thirty days to a year of mourning may seem like a more reasonable trajectory for grieving the death of those we love. In truth, there is no right timeline for grief for anyone or any situation. Grief is in reality more of a lifelong experience that occurs with every loss we experience and big grief commonly comes with big loss or traumatic loss. And so really we are never done grieving, we are simply learning to carry grief in new ways as we go through each new loss and learn the strength and creativity we need in order to carry each new layer of grief along with us. What have you learned about how you carry grief? [image description: A heart with a single wild braid of hair, a slight smile, and a tear running down its cheek looks out at the viewer. Text reads: "שנה של אהבה" (year of love).] #MindfulHearts RETROSPECTIVE ~ 7/31 ~ on this day 2021 2020 2019 2018 ~ celebrating four years of daily cartoons ~

In response to the much-needed call for #COVIDCompassion, #MindfulHearts offers the sister chant of #QuarantineCompersion.
The art and skill of understanding the suffering of others and feeling and acting on the impulse to lessen that suffering goes hand in hand with the art and skill of feeling and acting on the impulse to nourish joy everywhere. May we all have moments of joy that grow and extend through the times we live in and beyond. |
