A Lawyer's Grief

Her son developed a form of schizophrenia... But wait! Schizophrenia doesn't usually develop until their 20s!

Hym "You did it again and your kids got murdered for it AGAIN and it lead to ' a lawyer's grief.' He probably knows who I am. That's why he's grieving. This is not the natural consequences of the things I have done. You are doing this to avoid being wrong. That IS the natural consequences of the things you're doing. THIS is an aberration."

Grief Riding

When people use tragic circumstances or events to promote themselves or services

Terrible fire yesterday in town, prayers for those lost RIP

We however do have a fantastic sale on fire blankets and lawnmowers so come on down...

Grief/tragedy/sympathy machine

A machine that needs functional, cooperative parts to keep going.

If the coronavirus hype didn't keep going, people would begin to wake up. Therefore the grief/tragedy/sympathy machine keeps it going, keeps the misinformation spreading like wildfire.

frozen grief

The grief felt from the unresolved loss felt when a very close or a loved one is missing and whose whereabouts is unknown and unresolved, and there is significant potential for a bad outcome.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

The industry that wants control of all sides of the story, therefore the media claims to tell all sides of the story and be on everyone's side.

What the media and grief/tragedy/sympathy industry won't tell people is how on their own they really are, and how the industry doesn't give a fuck about them, it's a machine that depends on them to keep running.

Grief Gating

The act of selectively mourning the death of someone based on their political or ideological alignment, while ignoring or rationalizing the deaths of those outside one’s tribe. A form of emotional compartmentalization that reveals unconscious bias in expressions of empathy.

When the invited speaker was killed, the campus held vigils and posted tributes. But when a student protester died last year, barely anyone mentioned it. That’s grief gating—mourning filtered through ideological lenses.
