☆  grieve  ひどく悲しむ

============================

Well, I certainly didn’t imagine last year when we were creating the Eigo Techo for 2018, that I would actually be grieving my mum at this time! The word grieve is usually used to talk about feeling very sad about something – especially the death of someone or something, such as a pet. Also, when decluttering, and letting go of things, sometimes you need to grieve that loss. You might also grieve the loss of a job or opportunity, but in that case, it would be more usual to say you are feeling upset rather than say you are grieving. 

This month’s topic is “The Art of Letting Go” – so since I spent all of last month sorting through my mum’s things with my sisters and brother, and deciding what to keep or discard, I think I will have many stories to share with you this month! Hopefully happy stories, of course!!  

Bye,

Chris
