The intensity of grief felt by the sufferer is often incomprehensible to the witness or beholder. There is no cure. Medication may sedate the initial trauma but it fails to address the actuality of loss. Only psychological resilience and, maybe, time can ever enable the adjustment to ‘being’ required when learning to live with grief.
I aim to show how the unfathomable process of grief places its quarry within a desolate and abstruse state of mind, where normality becomes distant, and escape beyond reach.
