Creating permission for children to express grief authentically without conforming to social expectations about how to grieve.
Mirabai rejected social conventions to express her devotion authentically—she danced, sang, and loved publicly despite criticism. For grieving children, this principle means breaking free from 'shoulds': I should be strong, I shouldn't cry at school, I should be over this by now. Adults can actively give permission: You can feel however you feel. You can talk about them whenever you need to. Your grief doesn't have a timeline. Some children grieve silently, others through art or movement; some need to talk constantly. Honoring each child's authentic expression—rather than policing their grief—restores agency in a situation where they've lost control.
