I would like to talk about all kinds of grief. We haven't specifically talked about it but it is mentioned at nearly all events.
June 16, July 21, August 18, September 15, October 20, November 17 and December 15
​Here is a link to a discussion of Buddhists and grief: https://www.buddhistdoor.net/features/together-in-grief-a-buddhist-guide-to-offering-and-asking-for-support-in-times-of-loss/​

Here is a great reference to one of the eminent grief researcher: https://thelossfoundation.org/stages-of-grief/six-rs-model-of-mourning-therese-rando-overview/?v=0b3b97fa6688

Teresa Rando's 6 R's of grief/mourning:

The Six R’s describe different kinds of emotional and practical work involved in mourning.
Recognise
Coming to terms with the reality of the loss. This can take time, and people often revisit this recognition many times as the impact deepens or shifts.
React
Feeling and expressing the wide range of emotional, physical, cognitive, and social reactions triggered by the loss – from sadness and anger to shock, yearning, or exhaustion.
Recollect and Re-experience
Remembering the person who died, talking about them, revisiting memories, and allowing yourself to feel the significance of the relationship.
Relinquish
Letting go of roles, identities, or assumptions that no longer fit. This doesn’t mean “letting go” of the person, but represents releasing what can’t continue in the same way.
Readjust
Slowly adapting to life without the person’s physical presence while building an internal connection with them through memory, meaning, or continuing bonds.
Reinvest
Beginning to direct emotional energy into new or renewed relationships, roles, commitments, or hopes – not as a replacement, but as part of living forward with the loss.

There is a wealth of Buddhism and death-related topics at TLCserved: https://www.youtube.com/@tlcserves
I highly recommend this talk from Namgay Rinpoche, talking about his grief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0qCRAMhzfE
​Thank you to everyone who has wished me well. I am doing great, have lots of experience to build my own awareness of death. I am not in an official death stage but thinking about it more.
