When someone dies: guilt, numbness and waves of grief, sentence 0
Grief is the deep sadness after someone you love dies, and it does not move in a straight line: it comes in waves, out of nowhere, in the bath or on the bus, then goes quiet for a while, then comes back.
Who acts: Grief, you, someone · What happens: be, love, die, not move, come, go · To what, where: deep sadness, straight line, waves
