The grief arrived. You are in it now.
You thought you knew what grief felt like.
You have grieved before,
people,
jobs,
versions of a future you planned for and lost.
That grief had an object.
You could point to it.
You could tell someone what you were grieving and they would understand,
or at least nod in a way that approximated understanding.
This grief does not have a clean object.
