Our children are not immune to loss and perhaps they are especially vulnerable to its depredations. However, we do have to learn to live alongside that which seems unthinkable. Loss is not something that we should expect to ‘get over’. There is a paralysing physicality to grief that captures the senses. Theologians tend to lose themselves in abstract speculations whilst sympathy cards deliver saccharine platitudes that induce nausea rather than provide comfort. Indeed, few people have written convincingly about the numbing desolation caused by grief. The title of this blog would be enough to make many of us roll our eyes in dismay and scroll on. In a world where there is little that is truly taboo the matter of grief remains an aspect of human experience upon which public and private discourse is strikingly reticent.
