The Wound We All Will Carry
A widow smells her husband's scarf and crumbles. A father sits frozen in his daughter's empty bedroom. A woman discovers her brother's suicide note and her world splits in two. Grief doesn't knock politely-it kicks down the door and rearranges everything we thought we knew about living. Julia Samuel, who has spent three decades sitting with the bereaved as a grief psychotherapist, understands something most of us resist: grief isn't a problem to solve but a paradox to inhabit. We must somehow accept what we fundamentally refuse to believe, live in a world we never wanted, and carry on when every cell in our body wants to stop. This isn't weakness-it's the most human thing we do. Grief and mourning aren't the same thing, though we use the words interchangeably. Grief is the internal earthquake-the raw emotional response to loss. Mourning is the slow, painful reconstruction-adjusting to a world where someone essential no longer exists. When someone we love dies, our protective illusions shatter. We spend our lives maintaining a comfortable distance from our own mortality, but death tears that veil away. Suddenly we're forced to confront the truth we've been avoiding: we too will die, everyone we love will die, and we control far less than we pretend. This existential confrontation explains why grief feels like drowning-it's not just about missing someone but about facing the terrifying fragility of existence itself.
