No mention at all of the only permanant therapy for "loss" available, which is coming to see that there is no loss at all, we are not slave owners that have property that can be lost, but if you take on the burden of so called "possessions" then there of course will be suffering, because possessions ARE suffering, this is called the suffering of change by Buddha. Of course the point is not to not suffer, the point is to look into suffering and see the root of it, so it will be liberated into great bliss.
Arith, that's very nice and I am familiar with the concept as I have studied buddhism for years. But a lot of people aren't at that point yet and need help dealing with what they see as deep and profound loss. The concepts of buddhism aren't for everyone and if they haven't already adopted, at the time of profound grief, it doesn't offer a quick fix. I think even for most buddhists, it is not quick fix.
While it's important to allow oneself time to grieve and must do whatever helps them heal and go on, I do see value in being around others, journaling and anything else that can make one feel, well, better, if only for short periods of time. The grieving process is different for everyone.
