Story 94 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

With the death of a loved one, a grieving period is important, as

is understanding how the mind works and how doing nothing
with clear comprehension does not eliminate the grief. Once

to demonstrate the powers of meditation. They can keep up
the façade for a while. In time the effort to remain calm peters
out. The suppressed grief returns in a myriad of ways later in
life, when perhaps you cannot see a direct correlation between
what you are presently dealing with and the death of someone
close some months or even years before....
