The Phenomenology of Grief

Grief is a unity. It's it's a mental state. We don't speak of the judgment of grief.

I find it phenomenologically in the contemporary sense, I find it very much like a fever because it has it comes and goes, you know, these pangs of grief. And so, my thought is, well, if the phenomenal character, as it were, diminishes, the grief itself diminishes because the phenomenal character is one with the grief. Or at least that's how I'd motivate it.
