Adam Grant, author of Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know shares why grief is often misunderstood as something we should “get over.”
He writes:
“Closure is a myth. Grief doesn't evaporate—it waxes and wanes.
The purpose of grief is NOT to cause pain.
It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.
Moving forward after loss is NOT about erasing sorrow.
It's about gaining perspective.”
