Reflecting on Death and Mourning after the plane crash in Ahmedabad

Maria Wirth reflects on the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash, focusing on a family’s final selfie as a painful reminder of life’s fragility. Drawing from Indian philosophy and personal loss, she shares that death is not the end but a transition. According to the Rishis, our soul continues after the body and personality are discarded. Mourning, she notes, stems more from attachment than love and can hinder the soul’s journey. Excessive grief, while natural, should be gently released. The Indian sages encourage us to accept death courageously and let go, for both the departed’s peace and our own healing.
