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

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 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-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 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"

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 tragedy sympathy industry

Of the things the grief tragedy sympathy industry shows you on primetime TV, the coronavirus statistics seem dull this time of year because they are all year, but it takes something like extreme weather to wake people up.

The extreme weather is a refreshing thing to see after watching the same dull coronavirus numbers and statistics bullshit that is aired by the grief tragedy sympathy industry all year since 2020.
