The Spiritual Path of Grief: Transforming Loss into Liberation I remember sitting with a woman years ago who had just lost her husband.

Her grief was a raw, physical thing, a storm raging within the quiet confines of her living room.

She looked at me, her eyes hollowed out by sleepless nights and endless tears, and asked, “When will this end, Paul? When will I get over this?” I didn't offer her platitudes.

I didn't tell her that time heals all wounds or that her husband was in a better place. I simply sat with her in that storm, held her hand, and told her the truth.
