This document discusses grief in three forms and strategies for coping. It begins with definitions of grief, tragedy, and coping. It then notes that millions of people are affected by loss each year. Reasons for a lack of discussion about grief include legality, comfort, and know-how. An ethic of care framework is presented as an alternative to an ethics based on rules and justice. Examples of personal loss from the Boston Marathon bombing, illness, and loss of a student are shared. The document concludes with suggestions for an ethic of care in response to loss and questions about moving forward.
