Grief: anger, guilt and laughing at the wrong moment, sentence 1

People can be angry at the doctors, at God, at a little sister, even at the person who died; the feeling is allowed, but hurting people is not, so the anger needs a safe way out: running, drawing, punching a pillow, talking.

Who acts: People, person, anger · What happens: be, die, allow, hurt, need, run · To what, where: doctors, feeling, people, safe way, pillow
