How does a Buddhist deal with loss of a parent, who was a Buddhist ?
Loss is difficult, whatever faith you have. It is one thing to know that death is just a passage, the end of an illusion that is life, but it doesn’t make it any easier to live.
Knowing sometimes alleviate suffering but it can’t replace it. Suffering is normal and you need to live your loss fully. Only by living it that you can overcome it.
I am not an expert on death and loss so I should leave you with a reading suggestion to help you live with it better.
Judith Lief wrote a book: Making Friends with Death: A Buddhist Guide to Encountering Mortality
I hope it will help you with your loss.
