And hope is that element, I think, when people have lost everything, of being able to look through your pain. And once again, this comes with time. When the pain is too acute, all you can do is stand and breathe and survive, right? That was my first two years.

Yeah. When it's too acute... Don't try to offer wisdom to somebody whose husband just died. Don't offer your... Don't. Just love them and be there. Listen to them. That's all you can do. And there is a time where... That initial pain is calmed down enough that you can reconnect with the love that fueled your grief and your anger and your loss, right?

And when you can reconnect with that, you can start hoping again. And when you start hoping again, you can do the things that bring you closer to what you truly love. And you can't replace a person. You can't just put another thing in there. But I think you can value loving enough that can fuel new relationships, new purpose, new generosity, new compassion.

And the being curious about compassion, being curious about love, like that will lead you to great things and things that are going to fill you up. And I think it takes courage to not shut down. It takes courage to go through that. And it takes practice. And I was lucky in a way that I had a difficult practice that was handed to me. And I went post-divorced.

I had periods of other kind of strange practices that took up a lot of my time and industry for a while and may have been somewhat destabilizing. But I think there is something about facing difficulty and discomfort willingly. That's the funny thing even about Vipassana meditation is if you're doing a Vipassana course, it hurts.

Like I did a Guenca course like, I don't know, 30 years ago or something. And I went from never meditating to in this retreat and they kept saying, this is not a retreat, this is surgery. You're sitting for, I think it was 10 or 11 hours a day for an hour at a time. And I had never sat still in my life. You can tell. This is another reason I think I'm ADD.

But I'm a twitchy person who can't sit still. And I had to sit still for 11 hours. And the physical agony of that was overwhelming. And I kept thinking there was something wrong and you weren't supposed to talk. And I asked the teacher, I'm having so much pain. And they're like, sit with it. And at some point, because the Buddhist thing is sit with this and it will pass. And eventually it did.
