In this lesson, Dr. Welch says, “There is no right way to grieve.” Do you agree? Have you ever seen someone grieve in a way that you thought was “wrong”? Explain.

[Austin]

I agree. I have seen people make bad decisions while grieving, but I don’t think one can grieve “wrong”. Everyone’s grief is different.

[Austin]

I agree. I see people agree differently all the time. Sometimes they grieve in silence and other times they can experience anger or sadness. When I see someone appear to not grieve at all that can catch me off guard and I may noticed that they may cope with loss in destructive ways.

[Austin]

I agree, at least in a sense where people cannot be blamed for the emotions they feel because of the grief. I do think however that this may need to be separated from the healthy and unhealthy choices that one would make while grieving. It can be very easy for people to completely isolate in the midst of their grief, or to allow their emotions to become unhinged (like anger). The cause and the emotions behind these choices are valid, but the choices of what people do with the emotions can definitely be right or wrong.

everyone is different

[Austin]

I agree. Grief hits everyone in a unique way.
