"As a person casts off worn-out garments and puts on new ones, so the embodied soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters new ones."
Modern explanation
Begin today by remembering: What you grieve is the form you loved. What you loved within the form has not ended.
Practical application
Light a candle, name what you've lost, and let yourself feel without explaining it away.
Reflection question
How can I carry this love today without pretending it doesn't hurt?
