Explore the complex nature of grief in this 51-minute talk from The Aspen Institute. Delve into how loss alters our perception of the world, disrupting familiar patterns and expectations. Examine the concept of grief as a form of longing, not only for what has been lost but also for the shattered assumption of a stable, unchanging world. Consider the roles of resilience and healing alongside the enduring presence of lament and regret in the grieving process. Reflect on the importance of memories as a lasting connection to what has been lost, while acknowledging the impossibility of fully reclaiming the past. This thought-provoking discussion, inspired by Sloane Crosley's "Grief is for People," offers valuable insights into the human experience of loss and its profound impact on our lives.
