The reason the subject of grief is not a popular topic is that, 1 person in the conversation has to be the vulnerable & thus weaker & as a society we are conditioned to never be vulnerable but instead show confidence & strength. Coming from that position one opens themselves up to ridicule, pity & even shunning by those who lack sensitivity. Grief is a maze of undetermined length & experience. Plus all grief is 2-part, for the departed & for oneself over the future that never will be the same.
