Getting you to
have to look face to face with the fact that uh the person you loved is dead and not coming back.
But it does it in waves and one of the big distinctions between grief and depression is that
Anyone, I think, who is grieved.
will know that you there'll be times when you'll be saying to yourself
Well, this isn't so bad.
I'm I'm back to work and things aren't so terrible uh for hours at a time, I seem to be doing okay.
And then just when you're thinking that, you just get knocked off by the right and overwhelmed by this great uh wave of longing and and despair and missing.
And depression's an unrelenting sort of thing for the most part.
Certainly severe depression is and it's it's an inhuman sort of thing.
There aren't rituals for depression, there isn't societal understanding for depression.
Yet grief is so human and it hits everyone at one point or another, at least in their lives.
Uh if you love, you will grieve and that's just given.

to reach out to them when they're grieving.
People don't generally feel that way when they see somebody who's depressed.
They don't understand it and they don't extend themselves hugely.
