Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something to which a bond was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement refers to the state of loss, and grief is the reaction to loss.
Crying is a normal and natural part of grieving. It has also been found, however, that crying and talking about the loss is not the only healthy response and, if forced or excessive, can be harmful. Responses or actions in the affected person, called "coping ugly" by researcher George Bonanno, may seem counterintuitive or even look dysfunctional, such as celebratory responses, laughter, self-serving bias in interpreting events. Lack of crying is also a natural, healthy reaction, potentially protective of the individual, and may also be seen as a sign of resilience. Science has found that some healthy people who are grieving do not spontaneously talk about the loss and pressing people to cry or retell the experience of a loss can be harmful. Genuine laughter is healthy.

Genres: Drama, Short,Greetings from me to all my friends
to my girlfriend and my parents
I'm leaving this town
I can't forget to say goodbye
I can't forget the laughs and cries
The moments I spent
That's nothing to weep about
The rain's starting to pour down
Here the time's slipping away
I don't pretend I'm ok
Grief is preying on my mind
So let me stay (let me stay)
By myself
Grief is preying on my mind
I'm going away (going away)
By myself
Maybe things are gonna change
But my memories won't get last
Like leaves in the wind
I don't need your sympathy
This bitter world owes me a new life
This one's burned with me
Fuck this place that's killing me
My pillow drown in my tears
Dark angels dungle round me
Today's my expiration date
Grief is preying on my mind
So let me stay (let me stay)
By myself
Grief is preying on my mind
I'm going away (going away)
