- Grief is fundamentally about our loss
- Love is often disguised need fulfillment
- We grieve the future we expected
Disagree
- This pathologizes legitimate human attachment
- Grief honors genuine connection beyond utility
- Love exists beyond what people provide
- Reducing grief to selfishness is cruel
