Join us as we walk you through a journey of grief, prayer, and self-reflection, guided by the practice of Examen - a powerful method of prayer crafted by San Ignatius of Loyola. This episode is all about finding ways to be present - truly present - in the midst of grief, from creating a sacred space with candles, music, or religious objects, to the simple, grounding practice of focusing on your own breathing.
Discover the healing essence of expressing respect and love, the transformative potential of forgiveness, and the profound bond between spirituality, love, and grief.
