Book Study with Don Handrick: Bearing the Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore

Every other *Sunday at 2:30pm MDT
*NOTE: The May 1st meeting has been moved to Saturday, April 30
Normal schedule will resume Sunday, May 15

Course Description

Grief is a natural reaction to loss and we all experience it to some degree, whether it be the death of someone we love or the many other experiences of change and disappointment that occur all too frequently in our lives. The Buddha’s teachings have much to offer to help us to engage in our grief within the context of practicing our spiritual path, and thus make the painful process of grieving fruitful and beneficial for ourselves and others. We're turning to Bearing the Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore for inspiration and reflection together, and welcome everyone to join in this study and conversation. We'll start by creating a safe space to draw on our own varied and rich experience of grief in its many forms.  Senior FPMT Teacher Don Handrick will use this beautiful book to guide our discussion about grief and what it has to teach us.
