grief, n.All

Grief is an emotion that's almost unplayable because in grief, one is in a separate emotional state... it's an inconsolable emotion.

Grief is a place none of us can imagine. We might expect that we will be prostrate, inconsolable, crazy with loss. We do not expect to be literally crazy, cool customers who believe their husband is about to return and need his shoes.

Grief is being unmoored, having no anchor and no home in the world.

Grief is about learning to weave a parachute out of everything broken.

Grief is a room without doors.

Grief is a roller coaster it's up, it's down, the emotions sometimes take over.

Grief is a process, not a state.

Grief is an emotion that feels quite similar to fear.
