The practice of showing up consistently for a grieving child without trying to fix their pain or rush their process.
Mirabai's devotion to Krishna was unwavering and present, even in darkness. For children grieving loss, this translates into reliable, patient companionship. Adults must practice staying present without agenda—not trying to cheer them up, distract them, or minimize their loss. This means sitting with their tears, answering the same questions repeatedly, maintaining routines, and being emotionally available even when the child struggles with communication. Devotional presence teaches that grief isn't something to overcome quickly but to move through together. Children internalize this: I am worthy of someone's devoted attention, even at my most vulnerable.
