Everyone, no matter how privileged, has moments when their world falls apart. Fear, despair, and grief can overwhelm us as we struggle with debilitating illness, economic insecurity, or the death of a beloved spouse or child. If we are members of a marginalized group, we may find ourselves or our kin the random - or not so random - targets of violence. And some of us have experienced deep betrayals at the hands of a partner, close friend, or spiritual teacher.
