A Buddhist story about grief and the gift of not being alone.

A young mother has just lost her only child.

She carries his body through the streets, knocking on every door, begging for medicine that will bring him back.

Someone sends her to the Buddha.

He asks her for one thing. Something very small. Something that should be easy to find.

It isn't.

What she discovers instead will change everything.

A story from the Buddhist tradition that has offered comfort to grieving hearts for over two thousand years.
