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.

grief muffins

The basket of muffins the hospital delivers to the family of dying patients; often left untouched later gets redistributed to hospital employees
I feel bad for the patients but these grief muffins are delicious

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.

A way for some folks to claim that if you donate enough money, morale will get better.
The people claiming to be morale boosters were making a lot of money off the grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis, but would be quick to try and tear morale apart again if they needed more money for another grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis.
