How can we open to the sorrows we all carry without our hearts completely breaking? During the pandemic, many of us have lost family members, friends, and neighbors; jobs and economic stability; familiar routines and ways of gathering together. This discussion will offer resources for building resilience and holding grief, so that we are able to connect more deeply to ourselves, to one another, and to find meaning in the midst of loss.
Claire B. Willis is a clinical social worker who has led bereavement, end-of-life, cancer support, and therapeutic writing groups for over twenty years. She maintains a private practice in Brookline, Massachusetts. As a lay Buddhist chaplain ordained by Joan Halifax, she focuses on contemplative practices for end-of-life care. Claire is the author of Lasting Words: A Guide to Finding Meaning Toward the Close of Life (2014) and co-author with Marnie Crawford Samuelson of Opening to Grief: Finding Your Way from Loss to Peace (October 2020).
