Grief shopping

When someone close to you dies and you deal with depression by going shopping. Quite possibly with money to be inherited.

When Daniel’s father died, he did the ultimate grief shopping and bought a Mercedes.

Grief Numb

When the shock of loosing someone close to you is so intense that you feel sad but you can’t find the emotions to feel the grieving process and you just go about your day as normal with a cloud of sadness following but rarely touching.

Friend one to friend two “hey I am really sorry to have to be the one to tell you but your best friend passed away this morning from a massive heart attack” friend two “oh that’s really sad, hey do you wanna go catch the football game later and then go on a massive bender? It will be a laugh” friend one “I think you are grief numb… it will hit you later when you’ve had time to process”

Grief

That isn't what's happening here. You are trying to play games with my life and I'm not playing a game here. You tried to drown me out with static. People have died because of that choice. And you're participating in the cover up. The only saving grace is that names are getting crossed off the list and the sooner you accept that you getting shit in the neck is better than you getting away with the cover up, the faster this ends.

Hym "That isn't what's happening. Unlike your dead kids, I am not relegated to the past. Grief isn't going to make any of that better. You could have stopped someone of those people from dying and you didn't. And all of your rhetoric about the stages of grief aren't going to change that. Seriously, if me being right, and them being wrong and your kids getting murdered because of it isn't losing to these people than nothing is. They are so committed to doing this rhetorical pantomime at any cost, upto and including your kids, they will allow your kids to die when they could have done otherwise. I will make them regret playing chicken with my life. And I said BEFORE the deadline so no it does not matter."

Grief-weird

people who, as a result of toxic positivity and avoidance, act super weird and awkward about grief, enough to avoid widows and widowers and distance themselves from them

Ever since Aaron died, several friends got all grief-weird and stopped talking to Patricia completely. Other formerly close friends now pretend they were only ever acquaintances.

Grief tragedy sympathy industry

Cops learn that if they break down and cry to a shrink after using their weapons, they get support, and both cops and civilians that know they will be on TV know just how to break down at the right time and "express" sorrow for what they did, thinking that will make them less wrong. When was the last time you heard a cop or a civilian that shot an unarmed protestor or black guy say

"Not a day goes by that I don't feel absolutely no remorse about what I did, they got what was coming to them!" The reason you never hear that on TV is nobody wants to make what's coming for them any worse than what it is, nobody wants to intensify what is coming for them.

Something you never hear on TV's grief tragedy sympathy industry-

Armed Civilian- Yea I shot the son of a bitch, so what, who cares. Gimme the electric chair, hang me, or shut the fuck up you fucking cunt!

Judge- I will do as you wish, I will sentence you to death, you will get what you deserve without further adieu!
