Date: November 25th, 2024 4:09 PM Author: boltzmann brains chortling in the dark GRIEF in that context is meant as very deep sadness, invading your thoughts and filling your every waking minute. Everyone is sad on some level for many years about the loss of a loved one, but that's different than GRIEF as those people are using the term in a clinical sense.
And yeah, there is such a thing as prolonged GRIEF and it's very disabling. |

Date: November 25th, 2024 4:13 PM Author: rocko Kind of agree. I was very close to my mother and she died suddenly without a chance to say goodbye. I would say 2 months crippling sadness where I was operating 75% or so at work. 3 more months sadness when it was on my mind 24/7 but I can function highly. A year after that where I felt I was still sad but myself again. “This sucks but nothing I can do about it.”
Now I still think about it everyday but not every second (thought of it now bc of the thread) but more of a comfortable way. |

Date: November 25th, 2024 4:30 PM Author: .,.,.,....., grief is not a "feeling" or "experience" that goes away.
actual grief is being ontologically changed. There's before and after. You can never, could never be the same dood again.
I think they are writing about feeling sad or something. Grief is only very loosely associated with feeling sad because in the beginning you may feel v. sad.
But when a man enters grief, that's not the same man again. |

Date: November 25th, 2024 4:35 PM Author: .,.,.,....., if i were to venture past what i know for sure, Id speculate that our individual consciousness is not, in fact, individual. that from our infancy a big part of our "self" is our mom and dad and that there's no real meaningful distinction. We differentiate and grow up and form other relationships like that - fundamental parts of me overlap with that person, etc.
So the death or disappearance of that person alters me, disfigures me. matter of fact, if you killed enough of my inner circle there would be so little of me left Id probably just die |

Date: November 25th, 2024 4:34 PM Author: rocko Same but there’s also serious loss (loss of a loved one or breaking up with your ONE) vs. someone who meant a lot to you but did something shitty. When my mom died I never really recovered like you said but it moved from serious emotional pain to a dull sadness after a few months. My boyfriend who I thought I was going to marry and was with me for 10 years when I found out he was cheating on me that still haunts me to this day.
