1. An Intense emotional feeling of suffering caused by loss, disaster, misfortune, regret, etc. 2. Acute sorrow; deep sadness. The person in grief cries for help and pleas for sympathy. 3. Expressed sorrow. When a person cannot feel or express their grief or refuse to accept a loss, they suppress, deny and disown it, often resulting in a state of denial as if the loss or cause of their grief never happened. 4. Grief as an emotion is in the Redzone and denial is in the Brownzone.
