“As we have become increasingly technological we have moved farther and farther away from contact with ritual. It is almost as if we assume that we can think our way out of everything, that logic and technology can supply an answer to every problem. We might even tend to see ritual as superstitious or primitive. This scarcity of ritual and ritual elders leaves us in a serious state of affairs when it comes to grief. Most of us are left to our own devices when it comes to healing our grief, without the compassionate guidance of an elder and without the socially- sanctioned mechanisms of ritual.”

“When women are stressed they move towards interaction and do what she called “tend and befriend.” Males on the other hand, moved towards action (fight) or inaction (flight).”

“When a Hindu monk takes his vows, a part of the ceremony is a funeral for his former self. The old self dies. The monk is given a new name in the Swami order, and the date of his initiation is now considered his birthday. He is literally reborn on the day of his initiation, and his former self is considered dead.”
