(Oliver Contreras for The Washington Post) People have turned to religious practice to help them deal with issues of life and death, loss and meaning for thousands of years.
Do people need to be religious to benefit from tradition?
DeSteno, a psychology professor at Northeastern University, also argues people don’t need to be religious to benefit from the wisdom that traditions have to offer.
How do religions deal with grief?
Every religion has a way to deal with grief because the trick with grief is not to avoid it but to move through it. My favorite example is the Jewish ritual of sitting shiva. It’s a seven-day period that’s a sacred obligation for people to go visit the mourning.
