the.com/grief

means The deep sorrow and anguish you feel after a loss, especially when someone you love has died.

from From Old French 'grief' meaning a wrong, a hardship, a heavy burden, which came from the verb 'grever' — to burden or oppress — itself rooted in Latin 'gravare,' to weigh down, from 'gravis,' heavy. So at its core grief is exactly what it feels like: a heaviness pressing on you. It shares that Latin root with 'grave,' 'gravity,' and 'aggravate' — all words about weight, whether of the body, the earth, or the heart.
