Beef Grief

The feeling of regret that follows an altercation on social media or in real life.

Mate, I roasted that guy on Twitter who was stanning Bono. But the beef grief was off the scale when he said he was only 17.

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 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 tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).

Grief pussy

The pussy you get from thirsty girls after you've recently lost your spouse/significant other.

"Man I felt bad for Tom when his girlfriend died, but damn did he get a lot of grief pussy after the funeral"
"at least they got her in the ground first"
