My mother, for whom I still grieve, was right. The dsm-v be damned. Grief as another excuse to give us drugs that make big Pharma more money. shame on you psychiatry! shame on you. Grief is not a disorder. Psychiatry is the disorder #griefandloss #mourning #NotADisease #BigPharma

Grief is the natural result of love+loss. It is normal in every way.

Grief may even include feelings that we consider antithetical to grief. Like Joy. I feel Joy when I feel grief sometimes at the same time. Thank you for understanding at least a little it means so much to me.

I found listening to @ttfapodcast helpful in the year my father died. And fortunately, not all human cultures are allergic to emotions.
