Joel, I enjoy reading these pieces. I take my time with them. And this articles resonates a lot with me.

I have been thinking a lot lately about grief from different spectrums. Recently attended a workshop by Susan Cain and Liz Mollie and they were talking about emotional granularity. Like how specific can we be with our emotions. I think when it comes to grief, it hits differently everytime.

I also seem to have read about our body storing grief (from the awesome book our body keeps the score), many mindfulness writers ask to avoid the news due to it.

What intrigues me is the idea of collective grief. (Is there a word for it? )

Overcoming it. (I think accountability and opening up helps a lot)

Also look for something called as Tonkin's theory : Growing around grief.
