I became mesmerized by two realities in my affluent, white-collar, professional world: first, the massive amount of grief that is all around us all the time in our work-a-day reality (from death, cancer, suicide, dementia, infidelity, failure, addiction, etc.), and secondly, the way we almost never see it. We readily see other more external struggles. But grief? We would have to go very deep to see that.
