Essay Series: Living With Grief – When They Die Again. And Again by Roopa Swaminathan (Part 2)

Roopa Swaminathan bares her heart and soul in this essay as she talks about dealing with grief.

Loss and the feeling of loss are not a ‘one-time and done’ feeling. I don’t think even the most callous, the most indifferent, or the most detached of people (and I’ve experienced all three of them during my own experience with loss) think that.
