Dealing with Loss and Grief in Prison with Dr. Fleet Maul
Dealing with grief and loss is more difficult while incarcerated because you get less support. Additionally, you have many restrictions on what you can do to deal with it.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Fleet Maul, an author, meditation teacher, consultant, and coach. He is the founder of Prison Mindfulness Institute, National Prison Hospice Association, Windhorse Seminars & Consulting, the Center for Contemplative End of Life Care at Naropa University, and co-founder of the Engaged Mindfulness Institute, Center for Mindfulness in Public Safety and the Upaya Zen Center's Buddhist Chaplaincy Training Program.
Throughout this episode, Dr. Fleet shares how he first got involved in the prison hospice program. You’ll also hear about the program's impact on the patients and volunteers. He also shares a personal story of loss and how meditation helped him to deal with grief.
