No matter what religion an individual belongs to, he or she could never escape the feeling of sadness when a person close to them passes away. The religion in which a person belongs to can offer a rite of relinquishing in order to help those who are left behind to come to terms with a family member’s demise.

One of the most widely practised religions on earth, Buddhism derives its fundamental principles from the teachings of Lord Buddha. Buddhism calls for mercy and love for mankind and realization of the Ultimate Truth.

We grieve as innate response to loss. It is the pain that you feel when someone who or something that is part of your life, someone or something you love, is no longer there.

The following are a few samples of losses that can give you grief:

- you have broken up with your girlfriend or boyfriend – you lost your job – you wasted the opportunity to follow your dream – a family member reveals to you he or she is suffering from a deadly illness – the hospital test results came in and the doctor informs you that you are suffering from a serious illness – the end of a marriage – you lost the trust of your best friend – your pet passed away – a person you love dies
