Grief is a funny thing.
It affects everyone so completely yet so differently.
Some people respond by closing off the emotion, trying to think of something else, and plowing forward like business as usual.
Others completely break down, and become hollow and irrational shells of their former selves. Nothing can take the grief away, and it is as if the griever is the one who has died.
Somewhere in the middle is a different type of grief. The person can still fully function – most of the time – but is occasionally gripped by bouts of overwhelming emotion.
When all of the above types of grievers share the same space for an extended period of time, disaster will sooner or later be the end result…
Well said.
