In the world of computers and other technology, the Alpha chips are always pushing the envelope in performance and architecture. Also, in the world of finance and investment, a large alpha indicates that the stock or mutual fund has performed better than would be predicted given its beta, which is a measurement of an investment’s volatility. When we think and speak of healing from grief and loss, we definitely want to perform better than what would be predicted. In order to maximize our inner happiness, peace, and empowerment, our grief-healing alphas must be the first order of preference in actions we decide upon.
