Mourning and grief have to do with honesty about human limitations; limitations which mean that significance and security depend in part upon particular bonds. The tearing/passing of particular bonds means hurt. Mourning and grief have to do with being honest about that hurt which is due to human limitations. People who cannot be honest about their limitations are people who cannot honestly mourn or express grief; they play collusive games of mutual self deception about their limitations. They pretend not to hurt. They pretend that they are secure when they are not. They pretend that they have a secure self esteem when they do not. They become defensive and violent in their hurt and insecurity. They become addicts and addicts' supportive codependents who together participate in deadly games of mutual self deception which lead to more broken bonds and the repressed need for mourning; etc.; etc.; etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
