Grief Leech

(n) A person who likes to be around sad people so that they can feel needed and important. Often, these people will also internalize others' sadness so that they, in turn, can be comforted. They may seem like fragile, weak little birds but a true Leech is just an attention whore who likes the condolences and hugs they get from being sad and fragile.

Grief Leeches are most easily identified by their constantly talking about various friends that they're always "so worried" about. Note that you are always hearing about how she is helping them from the Leech herself and not from her supposed friends.

Person 1 - "God, when Nick and I broke up, Rose came over to 'comfort me' and I ended up having to comfort her! She wouldn't stop crying about my loss. And then, I had to spend the next week hearing everyone else tell me what a great friend she was because, of course, she had told them all about how she was 'so tired' because she had come over to help me in my time of need. What is that!?"

Person 2 - "OMG, Rose is such a Grief Leech!"

grief bone

Part of human anatomy, in the groinal region.

Michael (NBC's The Office): I lost Ed Truck. And it feels like somebody took my heart, and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears. And, at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then, a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. And I’m crying, and nobody can hear me. Because I am terribly, terribly, terribly alone.

pre-grieve

Also pre-grieving, pre-grieved. How you handle it when someone dear to you is near death.

“Curtis came through like a tornado, sulking and fuming” said Maddie after Winston finally came out of the ICU feet first , “and you couldn’t say a word without him blowing up.”
Offering scant reassurance, Bruce said “You can’t take it personally, though, he wasn’t mad at you, he was pre-grieving.”
“He was still a little shit,” said Maddie.

"Mom was so staunch when Dad was in hospice." says Rosemarie. "She pre-grieved by completely reorganizing the china cupboard, the linen closet and even the glove box of his Caddie."
