You're grieving wrong. Here, take a pill.

So, our Pharmaceutical overlords have now deemed prolonged grief to be a mental disorder. Yes, if you grieve for more than a month - you know, like if you lose a spouse or child, something really minor like that - you're now mentally deranged.

But hey, it's not all bad news. Those people who make money from foisting drugs upon us have a surefire solution for grief, a new pill that they can sell us.

Everyone I've talked to about their loss of a child agrees that it's something you never get over. I dont think they would choose to go through life drugged though.

I don't have any children, but I can imagine the heartbreak involved in the loss of a child. There's no way you could ever truly get over it.

Nor would most sane people. Unfortunately, we don't live in a sane world anymore.

According to some here, nothing wrong with taking pills. Just all a part of life I guess.

There is a difference in taking willow bark occasionally and taking xanax daily.

Xanax is highly addictive, with likely destructive side effects.
