Is there a place for mourning?

Mourning is the weeping for our wasted chances to love; when we love fully in the present, death becomes a doorway to a deeper communion, revealing the divine in each other.

— Osho
According to Osho, mourning belongs to those who postponed love and lived for ‘tomorrow’; death cancels tomorrow, so what we weep for is our wasted chance, not the departed. If you love totally, here-now, nothing is lost—death can even open a deeper, bodiless communion and reveal the divine in the other. Sadness may arise, but it is silent, meditative depth—not neurotic mourning.

Don’t postpone love; if you love fully now, death brings quiet, deep sadness but not regretful mourning.
