The Importance of Grief

I wonder about who the appropriate objects of grief should be. We will often think about loved widens but there's also a sense in which people grieve for public figures. I'm slightly taken aback, maybe even a little bit offended sometimes when a lot of academic literature on grief talks about grieving David Bowie or something like that. People have been talking in recent years about ecological grief and grieving an ecosystem grieving a glacier grieving an extinction.
