What’s the most unhinged thing grief made you do?
Not dangerous… just the strange, impulsive, irrational & deeply human things nobody really talks about.
For me, when I lost my mum, it was things like:
- agreeing to fly to a wedding in Italy with someone I barely knew, it was a disaster
- absolutely losing my shit at a car rental place over something minor and bursting into tears (they were wrong… but my reaction was wildly out of character)
- listening to the same song on repeat because it was the only thing that made me feel close to them
- ignoring texts for days and then feeling upset nobody was checking in
I’m building content around the realities of grief that people don’t talk about enough, and I’d genuinely love to hear others’ examples.
What’s something grief had you doing that was a little bit unhinged?
