Learning About Loss

Cardinal Musings with Jane Barton

Due to the global pandemic of grief and loss, I want to share some personal stories of loss and the lessons I learned along the way. We’re weary of dealing with life-changing twists and turns each and every day and the subsequent losses. We don’t know what to do with our sorrow, with our sadness, with the gaping voids created by so many heartbreaking losses — individual and collective losses that continue to accumulate. How are we to bear the massive burden of loss experienced in recent years? Perhaps by listening to what I’ve learned about loss over the past 65 years, you will benefit as well. That is my fervent hope.
