Experience tells us that attachment to people, things and views can often lead us to suffering - disappointment, frustration, pain and sorrow.
How does one stop clinging and grasping?

Instead of reducing attachment, you should accept suffering and pain as part of your life on earth.
Attachment does not refer to "clinging and grasping." It refers to the natural bond that humans form between each other, such as between family members and lovers. If you are truly willing to live your life completely alone, then go ahead. . .but I suspect you will be even more miserable than those of us who have lost family and friends and experienced disappointment and pain.
Once I saw a famous R&R singer on tv who was asked how he felt about his best friend and bandmember who had OD'd. He was asked, "Did you feel betrayed?" He answered, "Yes, I was disappointed, but he was my friend. He was a human being, he wasn't perfect. If I wanted a perfect friend, I would have built a robot."

Life is full of sorrow. And if you have no attachments, and are satisfied with a lonely life, then go for it. But otherwise you have to take a risk. And that doesn't go with reducing attachment. The more you attach, the more closer you are to your family. And the happier you will be.

It is imperative to adapt a pattern to bring one into alignment with thy Father.
It is first bought upon us to first acknowledge his presence in each and everything. There is nothing that thy Father does not abide in.
Your future is indeed bound by experiences and your freewill has led you astray at times for you fail to recognise thy Father's presence in all you say and do.
Therefore man has to be accountable for his actions to which much pain and suffering is bought down for the experience caused.
Man does not understand his actions and his consequences. He needs to make restitution.
He must stop look and listen closely before responding. Man also fails to understand the power of his words and these are causing unnecessary pain and suffering
.
Thy Father Is very forgiving of his children if only they would first recognise their mistakes and make restitution.
One should indeed partake in meditation for in so doing stills thy mind and allows all to flow.
Note at first one will have great difficulty focussing and emptying the mind of all clutter. But as one progresses this will indeed become a very peaceful state whereby you will be in a stillness like no other.
In this state one will experience Thy Divine Presence and will be filled with Love Eternal.
