July 20, 2025: Death, Loss, and Other Disappointments

Rev. Dr. Roger Jones

When we lose people through death, or experience decline or setbacks in our own lives, it’s hard. It sets us on a path with vulnerability and surprise emotions. And while it can feel so lonely to go through loss, it’s one of the most common human experiences. Today’s sermon draws from Five True Things by Buddhist writer and psychotherapist David Richo.
