Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

An industry that pretends to be on your side, rooting for you instead of the events that make the industry possible (storms, crime, death, accidents, bad news).

The grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is a business, not a friend.

Grief Haggery

When people on the internet appear to compete with each other to see who is the most upset by a tragic story which has no direct content with them.

The grief haggery about poor old tom is making me sick.

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.

Grief-around

When your bro's parent dies, so you you offer up a bro hug but give a little jerk sesh fro. The back to kill his pain.

Met Lumpy at the steakhouse after the service. My dude not only offered the grief-around but also said he'd call the fools to form a procession line for it. Just like back at the service. That's love man.

Grief-around

When your friend's parent dies, so you you offer up a bro hug but give a little jerk sesh from behind to kill his pain.

Met Lumpy at the steakhouse after the service. My dude not only offered the grief-around but also said he'd call the Fools to form a procession line for it. Just like back at the service. That's love man.

Grief

Grief is love with no place to go.

I'm dying with grief.

Eco-grief

The emotional response to the loss or degradation of natural environments or ecosystems, often due to climate change or human activities.

I feel a sense of eco-grief when I see the effects of pollution and deforestation on our planet.
