It can be the death of a spouse, a daughter, a son, a sister or a brother, even a grandparent, or a friend-no matter what the relationship, no matter how close or how distant, grief rears its ugly head with merciless, menacing pain and with piercing precision. Sooner or later, grief tears through the clutches of time and leaves the griever saddled with the deafening silence of losing a loved one to death.
