: We watch, read and listen to endless sources of death and dying, most related to violence. They are everyday common and accessible. We have also been assailed by minute doses of COVID-19 losses. Anakana Schofield’s essay is welcome insofar as grieving is too often an unwelcome subject.
I suggest that losses occur in a variety of ways. By age 10 or less, we can experience our beloved dog, guinea pig or aged relative leaving us by death or geographic change. We age into other losses: of a job, marriage, dream, health, financial security, rejection, shared certainty . As an elder person, I see that no one is exempt.
What has been lacking is acknowledgement. Fortunately, there is increasingly an admission of this grief process. Cumulative grief can erode us physically, emotionally, intellectually.As a clinical psychologist, my view is that the DSM 5, in addition to being relevant for billing purposes , is best understood as a method used to communicate general categories of behaviour to other clinicians, often with quite limited clinical value.
As a bereaved parent who has experienced death out of sequence in my own family, my view is that prolonged grief , is a most healthy response to the unimaginable loss of one’s child. The alternative to prolonged grief is to forget – and that’s really not an option for any of us in this club.Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.

When will all legacy media step up and ask real questions? Have you no conscious? The whole world has moved on, people will indeed be dying of Covid for many more yrs just like the flu. That is no reason to continue with all these onerous mandates. Shame on u for not asking
GlobeDebate Eureka Leslie Barsky: Careful cultivation of thinking at an early age, primary and elementary school preferably, will yield 'educated' homogeneity quelling the anxieties of those fearing individuality has gotten out of control over these last five hundred years or so.
So they went against the government’s and the MSM’s narrative so of course they are conspiracy theorists spreading lies. Something the MSM would absolutely never do!!! RIGHT!!!
Re: Conspiracy theories and The Convoy opinion piece: I agree that they should teach critical thinking skills starting with elementary school children. That way they won't believe everything the legacy media tells them when they grow up. lol
