Happiness Break: A Meditation to Help You Sit with Grief

Guest

Andrea Sexton-Dumas, end-of-life doula

Grief can be difficult to carry, and sometimes simply making space for it is an important step.

In this gentle guided meditation, Andrea Sexton-Dumas invites listeners to imagine sharing their heartache with a plant, releasing it into the soil, and nurturing the earth that holds it, offering a quiet moment to sit with grief through a connection with nature.

Happiness Break features research-based practices to cultivate compassion, build resilience to stress, and find more moments of joy and inspiration in everyday life. It is a bi-weekly podcast from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.
