Grief comes boxed in many different packages.

The death of a loved one, a routine visit to the doctor that reveals a fatal disease, the end of a marriage, a heart broken by betrayal, a young person caught up in drugs and sentenced to prison, the untimely death of a pet, bankruptcy, a job lost through no fault of one’s own: the list goes on and on, and the consequent anguish comes in all shapes and sizes.
