Grief is usually defined as the heart-wrenching feeling experienced after a significant loss, usually the death of a loved one. No, grief is not confined to the shadow of death alone; one would also grieve or mourn over the loss of a relationship, experiencing disability, or loss of job. But, the question is, are we confined to only grief on the losses that the society sanctions are valid to mourn over? Are other losses like failed IVF (in-vitro fertilization) attempts, friendship breakups, loss of a faithful pet, and shattered dreams not valid to grief? Are they meant to be sad for a short period of time and move on as they are not significant to be grieved and may even be made fun of by society to grieve over the assumed \u2018petty\u2019 things?<\/p>

When we lose something or someone we love, we mourn; it is a part of nature. But what if guilt pokes your soul when you grieve? Maybe your mind whispers that you shouldn\u2019t grieve for small matters. It makes you wonder \u2018Am I overreacting?\u2019 or \u2018Am I too sad for a small issue?\u2019. The society instilled by the illusion of grief makes one invalidate and question their own grief.<\/p>
