Drawing on Buddhist philosophy and contemporary psychology, this article explores how embracing impermanence can help us navigate grief, loss and uncertainty with greater compassion, resilience and presence. Rather than asking life to stop changing, we may discover a more peaceful way of walking alongside it.
