I just received the heart-wrenching news that my uncle has passed away in a tragic car accident. He was my dad's brother and the father of the cousin I mentioned in yesterday's email. Memories of the times we spent together come flooding back, and I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss. We shared countless moments, from our fun games of backyard soccer, where he showcased his incredible goalkeeping skills fearlessly, to the simple joys of our family gatherings.

Only a month ago, another wave of grief came as Percy, my girlfriend's beloved dog, passed away. Over the past year, I had formed a special bond with him. Percy was an embodiment of sweetness, patience, and the art of snuggling. He had a unique ability to lie beside you for hours without stirring, all while showering you with affectionate licks. As he aged, his heart grew until it could no longer contain its love. Those days were marked by an overwhelming sadness, and today, the pain returns.

So, what does the wisdom of the Yogi science tell us about death and how to navigate grief?
