Reimagining Grief: New Approaches Needed

Grief signifies more than just sadness; it embodies transformation. It’s a profound experience of loss or change, impacting every part of us and revealing hidden aspects of ourselves. Rather than a simple emotional response, grief acts as a seismic event, reshaping our very essence and creating space for new beginnings. It stretches time, guiding us through the process of relinquishing our past selves, shattered hopes, and cherished illusions. While undeniably painful, grief holds immense power, potentially guiding us back to a state of wholeness if embraced. Despite its constant presence today, grief often goes unacknowledged. The relentless pace of modern life, the pressure to be productive, and the emphasis on performance have overshadowed it. Mourning seems to have become an inconvenience. In a society fixated on moving forward, we've largely forgotten how to truly experience and process sorrow. Historically, grief has been revered as a significant rite of passage. Ancient traditions viewed it not as a problem to be solved, but as a feeling to be experienced. Hindu and Vedic rituals involve entire communities in days or weeks of prayers and mantras. Many Indigenous tribes in the Americas observe grief through communal ceremonies, incorporating crying, singing, storytelling, and symbols of transformation like hair cutting. These acts are not merely symbolic; they serve as energetic pathways, aiding the soul's journey through the transitional space between loss and rebirth. Even Abrahamic faiths have established timelines and structures for grieving. Jewish mourning rituals like shiva provide both the mourner and the community with a framework of presence and reflection. Islam prioritizes prayer and remembrance over several days. These customs emphasize that grief should be honored, not rushed or kept private. However, when cultures abandon these rituals and grief becomes invisible, the consequences can be severe. Consider , where the decline of Shinto and Buddhist death rituals has coincided with a surge in overwork and suicide. The body recognizes when grief is suppressed, and the spirit remembers what the mind tries to ignore. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 highlighted this reality. In its aftermath, we grieve not only for lost lives but also for the futures we envisioned. The pandemic exposed a collective pain that had long been buried beneath deadlines, distractions, and digital overload. Combined with the ongoing pressures of burnout, racial injustice, economic instability, and social division, we are left with a profound, unspoken suffering that lingers beneath the surface. We struggle to keep pace in a world that refuses to slow down, even as our hearts are breaking. Millennials and Gen Z are particularly affected. The "quiet quitting" phenomenon is not about laziness but rather spiritual exhaustion. It represents a choice to prioritize peace over performing in a system that devalues their humanity. The workplace, once a source of identity and community, has become another source of isolation. This disconnection allows grief to fester, potentially leading to illness. Suppressing grief leads to its accumulation within the nervous system, cells, and body's memory. Research indicates that chronic, unresolved grief weakens the immune system, disrupts sleep and digestion, and increases the risk of long-term mental health issues. In extreme instances, grief can even cause physical heart problems, such as takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome." Ignoring grief comes at a significant cost. However, an alternative approach exists. We need new ways to grieve that emphasize community, ritual, and reverence, rather than isolation or shame. We can also choose to confront our grief directly by scheduling time to sit with sorrow. We can create sacred spaces for grieving through actions such as lighting candles, listening to meaningful music, crying, screaming, journaling, and moving our bodies to release pent-up emotions. Grief, while deeply personal, does not have to be experienced alone. Sharing our sadness with others, even in small ways, can be powerful – simply acknowledging that difficult things have happened. Sharing fragments of our truth can create new neural pathways in the brain and heart, making connection possible and fostering a new kind of intimacy based on shared experiences. Whether through trusted friendships, support groups, or spaces specifically for those navigating loss, community provides support and understanding. This allows us to transform from victims of loss into active participants in our own healing. Acknowledging and releasing grief can facilitate a reconnection with nature. Allowing the wind to touch our skin, the earth to ground our steps, and the sun to remind us that life continues. We can reintegrate, knowing that we have released energy and honored our truth. This is how we begin again and transform pain and confusion into strength. Now more than ever, we need to reclaim grief as a sacred practice, remembering the wisdom of our ancestors: grief is not separate from life but an integral part of it. We are being called back to our humanity – to our hearts, our tenderness, and our capacity for compassion. To honor grief is to honor the complexity of the human experience, cultivating a reverence for the inevitable flow of emotions, including joy, both individually and collectively. Grief is not the end but a threshold, beyond which lies freedom. Excerpted from by Devi Brown. Copyright © 2025 by Devi Brown.

Lessons from the Holocaust

As the world navigates another turbulent year, it marks the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust's end. Commemorations commenced on January 27, with global leaders and survivors gathering in Oświęcim, Poland, to commemorate the occasion. This month marks the anniversaries of the liberation of Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and Dachau, alongside Yom HaShoah on April 24. Memorial events will take place at over 175 Holocaust centers and museums in North America, as well as thousands of other memorials, schools, and communities worldwide. While remembering is crucial, what are the enduring lessons of the Holocaust? This question is challenging to answer, given the frequent yet often superficial references to the Holocaust, juxtaposed with a perceived decline in detailed knowledge. Nevertheless, several significant lessons merit revisiting. Firstly, atrocities like the Holocaust require specific enabling conditions. They frequently occur in states that are failing. The Weimar Republic's failure to uphold liberal democratic values and respectful dialogue created a breeding ground for Nazism. The Nazi Party gained power democratically, ironically, on a platform that denigrated individual worth, promoted harmful stereotypes, romanticized a fabricated past, and used modern communication to spread propaganda and recruit followers. Once in power, the party shifted towards authoritarianism, subverting national institutions, the media, civil service, academia, and the legal system to align the state with its ideology and goals. Certainly, numerous countries since 1945 have had ruling parties with similar traits, but without leading to genocide. The Holocaust required further elements: widespread apathy, elite complicity, and international community failure. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel's warning against indifference was prescient: turning inward during conflict hinders courage and enables the exploitation of the vulnerable. In perpetrator nations, most were passive bystanders, but significant participation came from elites, including artists, academics, clergy, media figures, business leaders, and even doctors. Just as the elites faltered, so did the international order. Consider the Munich Agreement, which allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia, the Evian Conference where the U.S. and other nations refused to accept more Jewish refugees, or the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact which paved the way for Germany and the Soviet Union to occupy and divide Poland in 1939. These failures emboldened fascism and its associated crimes. Finally, and most importantly, the Holocaust was fueled by antisemitism, an ancient hatred pervasive across all societal levels. Millennia of animosity toward Jews had already resulted in countless deaths. Under authoritarianism, this hatred provided the Nazis with a framework to enlist willing participants and collaborators, and for large segments of the population to ignore or participate in violence against Jews. We all have the potential to become perpetrators or passive accomplices to such crimes. Recognizing this possibility requires understanding that the Holocaust happened to real individuals with hopes, dreams, flaws, and inherent humanity. This realization is essential, which is why Holocaust museums worldwide connect visitors to the victims and survivors. By revealing the horrors of the past, they offer a lens through which to view the future, uniting Jews and non-Jews in confronting this history and its implications. Truly learning from the Holocaust demands engaging with the lived experiences of those who endured it. This leads to a crucial final point: understanding this history makes one unable to tolerate the conditions that enabled the Holocaust, including antisemitism. Studying this topic transforms us, heightening awareness of hate's signs and forms, and other threats to peace. To act on this knowledge, we must reject cynicism and indifference. Failure to do so, as Holocaust survivor and intellectual Primo Levi warned, risks granting the Nazis a posthumous victory. To prevent this, we must understand the past, recognize its relevance to our future, and remember the victims and survivors of the Holocaust in ways that create the world they deserved, not the one they were forced to experience.

Ex-South Korean President Moon Jae-in Indicted on Bribery Allegations

SEOUL, South Korea — On Thursday, South Korean prosecutors charged former President Moon Jae-in, a liberal, with bribery. They allege that a low-cost airline provided his son-in-law with a well-compensated, but essentially non-existent, job while Moon was in office. Moon's indictment means he joins many South Korean leaders who have faced trials or scandals either near the end of their presidencies or after their terms concluded. Prosecutors claim that Moon, who was president from 2017 to 2022, accepted bribes totaling 217 million won ($151,705) from Lee Sang-jik, the founder of Thai Eastar Jet, a budget airline. These bribes allegedly took the form of salary, housing costs, and other financial support given to Moon's then-son-in-law between 2018 and 2020. South Korean news outlets have reported that Moon's daughter and her husband divorced in 2021. The Jeonju District Prosecutors’ Office stated that Lee was also indicted for bribing Moon and for breach of trust. According to the prosecutors, Moon's former son-in-law was hired as a director at Lee’s company in Thailand, even without prior experience in the airline industry. They stated he spent little time at the company’s Thailand office and performed only minor tasks, while claiming to work remotely from South Korea. The prosecutors' office stated they found no proof that Moon provided political favors for Lee, an individual involved in Moon's campaign. However, they believe Lee likely anticipated some form of repayment for his assistance. Lee was later appointed as the head of the state-funded Korea SME and Startups Agency and was nominated by Moon’s party to run for parliament during Moon's presidency. However, the prosecutors stated they have not found any evidence suggesting Moon aided Lee in securing these positions. There has been no immediate comment from Moon. Moon's indictment occurs prior to the upcoming South Korean presidential election on June 3, which will determine the successor to conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office due to a controversial imposition of martial law. It remains uncertain whether Moon's indictment will impact the chances of liberals regaining the presidency. Sources suggest that a liberal presidential candidate is currently favored to win the vote, as conservatives remain disorganized following Yoon's removal. However, the candidate also faces criminal trials related to allegations of corruption and other offenses. Historically, many South Korean presidents have been caught up in scandals during their final months in office or after leaving office. In 2017, Park Geun-hye, South Korea’s first female president, was impeached and arrested because of a major corruption scandal. Park's conservative predecessor, Lee Myung-bak, was also arrested on various charges years after leaving office. Moon's friend, former liberal President Roh Moo-hyun, died by suicide in 2009 amidst corruption investigations targeting his family. Moon is most noted for his efforts to reconcile with North Korea, having met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un three times and facilitating the commencement of high-level nuclear negotiations between Kim and President Donald Trump. Moon's supporters credit him for achieving cooperation with North Korea, which has since stalled, and for preventing significant armed conflicts. However, opponents view him as a naive sympathizer of North Korea who inadvertently allowed the North to advance its nuclear program despite international sanctions and pressure. ```

XPRIZE Winner Mati Carbon’s Dual Mission: Helping Farmers and Removing CO2

Mati Carbon is striving to eliminate 100 million metric tons of atmospheric CO2 by 2040 while simultaneously aiding 100 million farmers in the Global South. The company, currently working with farms in India and planning expansions into Zambia and Tanzania, has recently moved closer to its objective. Mati participated in a four-year global contest challenging teams to develop and demonstrate scalable carbon removal solutions. They were awarded the XPrize Carbon Removal, a $50 million prize intended to help the company expand its operations. The award was announced at the TIME100 Summit on April 23. Nikki Batchelor, executive director of XPRIZE Carbon Removal, explains that the prize aims to foster new solutions that complement existing climate efforts. She emphasizes the critical need to aggressively reduce emissions, but notes that scientific evidence indicates the necessity of carbon removal as well. The development and refinement of these technologies and solutions are crucial now to ensure their readiness by 2050, when the world must operate at a gigaton scale. TIME interviewed Shantanu Agarwal, CEO, and Jake Jordan, chief science officer of Mati, regarding the potential of their technology, enhanced rock weathering, to offer a scalable carbon removal method. This approach also aims to improve soil health and provide crucial support to farmers globally. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. TIME: What are Mati Carbon's goals? Shantanu Agarwal: Mati Carbon is pioneering a revolutionary technology to scale carbon removal to gigaton levels. It enhances climate resilience and empowers up to 100 million smallholder farmers in developing economies through a natural process called enhanced rock weathering. What is enhanced rock weathering, and how does it contribute to the broader climate fight? Jake Jordan: Rock weathering is a natural process where rocks break down due to rain and water exposure. We accelerate this by pulverizing volcanic rock and applying it to the fields of our partner smallholder farmers. When this pulverized rock interacts with water and gases, it starts to decompose. With rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere, the rock primarily interacts with CO2 when wet. This interaction reorganizes the CO2 chemically into bicarbonate, a dissolved form of carbon that remains in the water and eventually drains into rivers, aquifers, or oceans, where it can be stored for thousands of years. This makes it a durable method of carbon dioxide removal. As an added benefit, the breakdown of rocks releases beneficial minerals and nutrients into the farmers' fields. This not only provides a climate solution by removing carbon dioxide but also supports vulnerable farmers who are disproportionately affected by climate change yet contribute the least to it. We view this as a significant double benefit. A key part of the XPrize competition was demonstrating the potential to scale the work to remove gigatons of carbon annually. How will Mati Carbon achieve this? Agarwal: For Mati Carbon, this involves establishing thousands of "bases," each serving 5,000 to 10,000 farmers. We aim to replicate these bases globally, reaching millions of farmers. Our XPRIZE demonstration included three fully operational commercial bases in India. XPRIZE representatives assessed one of these bases to understand our operating procedures, farmer support methods, and the resulting impact on farmers. We validated and demonstrated our standard scaling unit, its operation, cost, and replicability worldwide. How can carbon capture benefit smallholder farmers? Agarwal: The result is increased productivity for the farmer. We're observing approximately a 20-25% increase in productivity in well-fertilized soils and a 50-70% increase in degraded soils. This has a significant impact on their incomes through increased productivity, along with the ability to reduce pesticide use. This is transformative for farmers living crop to crop. A 30% to 50% increase in income enables them to pay off debts and invest in irrigation equipment or better seeds, which changes their lives. What are Mati Carbon's next steps? Agarwal: Our company is founded on a farmer-first principle. We structured our company as a nonprofit and chose not to accept equity from venture capital funds. We rely on grants and philanthropy to scale, which has limited our expansion. This XPRIZE provides us with the resources to pursue our full mission of reaching 100 million farmers in the next 15 to 20 years. What do you want people to learn from your work? Agarwal: I hope that this prize and our work offer hope and direction. Pathways exist that benefit the planet and small farmers while being economically viable through market-driven mechanisms. Mati Carbon has demonstrated that we can build a viable business with our unique model and technology, competing with the best globally and succeeding. I want to inspire hope in the world, other competitors, companies, and individuals, emphasizing the urgent need to address the problems we face instead of denying them.

World Leaders and Dignitaries Expected at Pope Francis’ Funeral: A List of Key Attendees Including Trump and Prince William

` tags. ```xml Pope Francis, a transformative figure in the Roman Catholic Church, passed away on Monday, April 21, at the age of 88. His death followed a period of declining health, including a five-week hospital stay, from which he was discharged on March 23. In a statement announcing his death, the Vatican conveyed: “Dear brothers and sisters, it is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of our Holy Father Francis. He dedicated his life entirely to serving the Lord and His Church. He taught us to embody the values of the Gospel with unwavering faith, courage, and universal love, particularly towards the most vulnerable and marginalized.” The late Pope was not only innovative in his leadership of the Catholic Church but also the first non-European to occupy the position in over 1,200 years. The Vatican has since released the details for the Pope’s funeral, set to take place on Saturday, April 26. The ceremony will be conducted outdoors in front of St Peter’s Basilica. The public has had the opportunity to pay their respects to the Pope as his body lies in state. As a highly significant and influential person to many, Pope Francis’s death has elicited condolences and prayers from leaders around the globe. Representatives from across the political spectrum, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, are expected to attend his funeral. Prominent figures from the cultural sphere will also be present at the service in Rome. The current list of confirmed attendees is as follows: Donald and Melania Trump The President announced via his social media platform that he and the First Lady, Melania Trump, are planning to attend, stating that they “look forward to being there.” Vice President J.D. Vance had a brief meeting with the Pope in Rome on Easter Sunday, the day before his death. This meeting occurred amidst strained relations between the Papacy and the Trump Administration, which had escalated in recent months due to Pope Francis's public criticism of U.S. deportation policies. Prince William Prince William, the eldest son of King Charles III, is confirmed to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome, according to a statement issued by Kensington Palace. William will represent his father, similar to Charles’s representation of the late Queen Elizabeth II at a previous event. The Prince of Wales attending in place of the King is a contemporary practice and reinforces William’s role as the future monarch. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will also represent the United Kingdom at the service, as confirmed by a spokesperson on April 22 during a press briefing at Downing Street. The Prime Minister expressed his condolences following Pope Francis's death, noting: “His leadership during a complex and challenging period for the world and the church was often brave, yet always rooted in deep humility.” Volodymyr Zelensky  The Ukrainian President is expected to be present for the service at St Peter’s Basilica, according to his communications advisor, Dmytro Lytvyn. Zelensky paid tribute to the late Pope on his official X account, stating: “We remember his prayers for peace in Ukraine. Our state will be represented in Rome at the farewell ceremony this coming Saturday.” Pope Francis and the Ukrainian President last met in while Zelensky was on a European diplomatic tour. Micheál Martin Representation from countries with a Catholic majority will be present, with Irish President Michael D. Higgins attending the service on April 26, along with Taoiseach [Prime Minister] Micheál Martin. On April 22, Higgins honored the late Pope by signing a book of condolence for the Pontiff in Dublin, Ireland. Ursula von der Leyen Ursula von der Leyen, President of the E.U. Commission, another significant European figure, has confirmed her attendance at Pope Francis’s funeral at St. Peter’s Basilica. Von der Leyen’s presence could facilitate a crucial meeting between her and Trump. Even with the President having suspended additional tariffs on the E.U., this meeting could be highly significant. Javier Milei Javier Milei, the conservative President of Pope Francis’s home country of Argentina, will also travel to Rome for the funeral service on Saturday, as announced in a government statement. Milei had openly criticized the Pope’s views, adding in a statement: “Despite differences that seem minor today, having been able to know him in his goodness and wisdom was a true honor for me.” Following the announcement of the Pontiff’s passing, seven days of national mourning were declared in Argentina. Giorgia Meloni Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has cut short her trips to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to attend Saturday’s funeral. In her tribute to Pope Francis, Meloni stated: “I had the privilege of enjoying his friendship, his advice, his teachings, which never ceased even during times of trial and suffering.” ```

Trump’s Strategy of Blaming Jerome Powell for Economic Woes Proves Ineffective

This article is part of The D.C. Brief, TIME’s politics newsletter. Sign up to receive stories like this in your inbox. President Trump attributes the weakening economy to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's refusal to lower interest rates as Trump desires to stimulate growth. However, most observers, including Powell himself (dubbed "Mr. Too Late" by Trump), point to Trump's own actions—specifically his use of tariffs—as the primary cause. The White House attempts to downplay the disagreement and present a unified policy front, despite conflicting statements from Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This disconnect is particularly damaging given Trump's focus on the stock market, which is reflecting investor unease. Since Trump's inauguration, stock values have decreased, the bond market has become unstable, and the dollar has weakened. The International Monetary Fund recently increased its recession probability forecast to 37%, surpassing the assessment of Americans where a Gallup poll indicates 42% believe the economy is already in a recession or depression. This backdrop clarifies Trump's recent apparent shift, claiming "no intention" to dismiss Powell, just days after demanding Powell's immediate removal. (The President's authority to remove the Fed Chair remains unclear, but markets are fearful of any attempt.) Meanwhile, Bessent suggested in a private JPMorgan Chase speech that the U.S.-China trade war might de-escalate, noting the current situation is unsustainable for both countries, who add significant costs to imports. Bessent's remarks boosted markets. (His influence on market upswings is well documented.) Investors prioritize stability, which explains the U.S.'s position as a top destination for foreign direct investment, holding over $5 trillion from foreign investors (approximately 10% of global FDI, according to IMF data). Wall Street rallied following remarks from Trump and Bessent; however, those in Washington close to major investors say these statements aren't seen as reliable for long. The IMF has lowered its U.S. economic growth forecast to 1.8% this year, from a prior 2.7%. (For comparison, the economy grew by 2.8% during Biden's last year in office.) Trump seems to recognize the deteriorating situation but still criticizes Powell for not lowering borrowing rates to stimulate the economy. However, such a move could increase inflation, which remains a concern. Core inflation is at its lowest level since March 2021. On Wednesday, Bessent addressed Trump's grievances at an IMF event while attempting to reassure markets. "The IMF once focused on global monetary cooperation and financial stability, but now spends too much time on climate change, gender, and social issues," Bessent stated. He attributed the organization's failure to maintain global economic equilibrium (often benefiting the U.S.) to "mission creep." In a follow-up with reporters, Bessent said de-escalation with China is a priority, but no direct talks are happening between leaders, suggesting the administration would consider a general framework without a formal agreement a success. The White House continues to portray the economic issues as a temporary setback that won't prevent a manufacturing renaissance as companies choose to invest domestically rather than pay import taxes. They still see Powell as the main problem, or at least a convenient scapegoat. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused the Fed of maintaining steady rates for political reasons rather than for the good of the American economy. Those who closely monitor the Fed and Wall Street find the White House narrative inconsistent with reality. As investors prepare for the consequences of Trump's global standoffs, the Administration's inconsistent messaging is becoming ineffective. Understand the important issues in Washington. .
