Grieving Without God: Navigating Loss During Quarantine

If we're talking about meaning, we look at the testing period, the searching period- what exactly is meaning?
How do you cope with the loss of a loved one when traditional religious comforts don't resonate with you? In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri dives into the raw and often misunderstood territory of grief, especially under the isolating conditions of quarantine. Drawing from her own experiences and research, Dr. Silvestri debunks common myths about grieving and explores how atheists can find meaning and support without relying on spiritual dogma.
She shares her personal journey, including the heart-wrenching loss of her only son, and how it shook but didn't destroy her spirituality. The episode touches on the role of rituals in atheist communities, the importance of finding new ways to make sense of loss, and practical strategies for coping during such challenging times. Whether you're grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and a compassionate perspective on navigating grief without a higher power.
