Comment on Ask HN: How to Grieve?

Everyone is different with this I think.. I like to suggest writing about it occasionally, singing about it occasionally.. ways to get it out / express it - dance, exercise - yell scream and shout it out in a safe place.

I like to put soft limits on the time - so it doesn't become a 96 hour marathon.

There are some interesting tips in a john gray book: Mars and Venus Starting Over: A Practical Guide for Finding Love Again after a Painful Breakup, Divorce, or the Loss of a Loved One by John Gray

I realized some time ago that football (and other sports) watch parties are one of the few ways in which American men are sanctioned to be able to yell, cry, dance around in joy and sadness, touch each other (high fives, hugs, whatever)

and I got a new appreciation for people engaging in that kind of sports fandom.

And I constantly wonder what other activities with have in our modern culture that allow this kind of expression for men and or women.

Stumbled upon this today:

Epictetus on Love and Loss: The Stoic Strategy for Surviving Heartbreak (via https://getpocket.com/explore/item/epictetus-on-love-and-los... )

May be of interest to those looking for more ways to consider handling things.
