The confused, painful and life-altering aspects of loss - how do we recuperate, recover?
In this episode, Dolli and I take a deep dive into loss, what it means, how it appears in our life. Whether it is the loss of an important game, the end of a friendship through a heated disagreement, or losing someone close to us through death, loss affects all our lives, small or great. And by discussing the implications, the aftermaths, we can gather the means and methods of how to heal and move on from loss. We all experience loss. Please join us on this necessary topic in such difficult times.
“No one goes in search of loss; rather, it finds us and reminds us of the temporary gift we have been given, these few sweet breaths we call life.”
Herbstabend mit Ritter (Autumn Evening with Rider), 1893 - Franz von Stuck, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich
“Losses – There are some losses which communicate to the soul a sublimity in which it ceases from wailing, and wanders about silently, as if in the shade of some high and dark cypresses.”
L’Embarquement pour Cythere (The Embarkation for Cythera), 1717, Antoine Watteau - Louvre, Paris - some art historians and critics regard the central couple as a representation of the maturation of love and the woman looking back is regarding the loss of moments in the evolving relationship
