    How did “grieve different” become don’t grieve at all? I’d be willing to bet that if men started grieving exactly like women, they still wouldn’t get the support they need.

      I agree that trying to force a man to grieve the way a woman does isn’t necessarily the right move. But when one is receiving offers to process their grief through a support system while the other drinks more I think it’s clear the former is grieving in a healthy way while the latter is engaging in a destructive coping mechanism.
