Taboo

Since Queen Elizabeth II died last week, I have been really interested to see both the outpouring and outrage on social media. All of it is valid, and even though sometimes on the polar opposite end- both reactions are driven by grief. There are those who view this as the death of an oppressor and those who view this as the death of a leader. The angered reaction or the sadness could feel taboo, depending on your stance.  

Even in grief, we can’t seem to escape the complications of our tricky world and these taboos really abound. I came across a fabulous post this morning on social media which lists some grief taboos, shared by the aggrieved:

Grief Revolution

I was scrolling through my social media this morning and came across this post. It’s spot-on, and society needs to recognize that this is reality and there is nothing wrong with it.

Grief has a way of intertwining it’s way into our every day, much like love. Some days we may not feel it deeply, others it will feel more ‘regular’, and others it will be a deep basin of emotion.
