My wife and daughter and mother. I don't think anything can compare to a loved one, that's why we mourn our losses.

I like your answer. I like it a lot. But we don't have to mourn our losses. We can, if we look deeply into nature, try to accept death philosophically.

This little story from the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu, who was one of the great founders of Taosim, shows us how we can approach loss:

Chuang Tzu's wife died. The next day when Hui Tzu went to convey his condolences,
he found Chuang Tzu sitting with his legs sprawled out, pounding on a tub and singing.
"You lived with her, she brought up your children and grew old," said Hui Tzu. "It should
be enough simply not to weep at her death. But pounding on a tub and singing -
this is going too far, isn't it?"

Chuang Tzu said, "You're wrong. When she first died, do you think I didn't grieve like
anyone else? But I looked back to her beginning and the time before she was born. Not
only the time before she was born, but the time before she had a body. Not only
the time before she had a body, but the time before she had a spirit. In the
midst of the jumble of wonder and mystery a change took place and she had a
spirit. Another change and she had a body. Another change and she was born. Now
there's been another change and she's dead. It's just like the progression of
spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Now she's going to lie down peacefully in a vast room. If I were to follow after her
bawling and sobbing, it would show that I don't understand anything about fate. So I
stopped."


So it is possible to love people and not fall to pieces when they're taken away. But, that said, this Buddhist story shows us that, even with deep understanding and a firm belief in non-attachment, it is not always easy:


When Marpa, the great Tibetan meditation master and teacher of Milarepa, lost his
wife he wept bitterly. One of his pupils came up to him and asked: 'Master, why are
you weeping? You teach us that life and death are illusions.' And Marpa said: 'I know,
and you are right, but she was the sweetest illusion I ever saw'.

I love that story.

Atm mine would be art. I'm not particularly amazing but I find it very helpful considering how depressed and down I always seem to be - it lifts me a little.
