Grief.


Grief, sorrow, anguish whatever you want to call it, we all have to deal with it at some point in our lives.  It is inevitable.  All we can hope for is that we are somewhat prepared to handle whatever trials and tribulations arise.  However, that is rarely the case.  The delivery of bad news often triggers a chain of reactions within the beholder.  From excessive exercise to substance abuse it is merely a coping mechanism.  Many become so horrified that this event is forever etched into their minds.  Some choose to mourn.  Others choose to forget.  Regardless, grief has a profound effect on one's relationships with others.  In this series, I wanted to capture the moods/activities of people who were dealing with grief.
