Tensions between grieving hearts and Western mind: Brave spaces for grief literacy and mystical experiences 
Psychology Today, Mark Shelvock RP(Q), CT, MACP, MA; reviewed by Davia Sills; post co-authored with Jodi Gorham; 3/15/24 
Key Points:

  • There is a lack of grief and death literacy occurring across the modern world.
  • It can be even harder to share about mystical experiences associated with death when grief itself is taboo.
  • Openly discussing the intersections between grief, death, and mystical experiences can benefit many.
