“Television has never known what to do with grief, which resists narrative: the dramas of grief are largely internal - for the bereaved, it is a chaotic, intense, episodic period, but the chaos is by and large subterranean, and easily appears static to the friendly onlooker who has absorbed the fact of loss and moved on.” FactsLossGriefKnownTelevisionPeriodsDramaMovedChaosIntenseNarrativeInternalsFriendlyChaoticStaticMoved On Author:Meghan O'Rourke
“I learned, when hit by loss, to ask the right question: "What next?" instead of "Why me?" . . . Whenever I am willing to ask "What is necessary next?" I have moved ahead.

“The greatest disaster of all was after all the difficulties and loss of life and expenditures, President [Barak] Obama walked away, in 2011, and it is a disaster.

“When I was 12, we moved from New Jersey to Florida. The Gulf of Mexico was literally my backyard. Every day, I could see the ocean. At low tide I went out and played in seagrass meadows that used to come right up to the shore, filled with tiny seahorses, pipefish and soft corals. There was so much life!

Shallow bay areas were turned into parking lots.” UsedLossTreeOceanLowsAreasMovedFilledTinyShoreMexicoTidesFloridaShallowJerseyMeadowsParkingNew JerseyBackyardsParking LotBay AreaGulf Of MexicoShoreline Author:Sylvia Earle

“If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband's family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature.
