Anger. It is a raw, primal emotion that often takes center stage after loss. We rage, we blame, we lash out. It feels justified, a fiery response to the pain we carry. But what if there's more to this anger than meets the eye?

C.S. Lewis, in his reflection on grief, wrote: "I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief." This quote speaks to the truth that anger can often be a mask for the deeper, more complex emotion of grief.

When we experience loss, a part of our world crumbles. It is natural to feel a surge of anger – anger at the unfairness, anger at the powerlessness, anger at the world that keeps spinning while ours feels like it is stopped. But beneath the anger lies the raw ache of grief, the overwhelming sadness at what has been lost.

So, how do we unmask this anger and confront the true face of grief? Acknowledging our emotions. Ignoring or suppressing anger only allows it to fester. Instead, allow yourself to feel it. Talk it out with a trusted friend, therapist, or even write it down.

Remember, there will be days when anger resurfaces. But by recognizing it as a potential cloak for grief, you can begin to understand the emotions you're experiencing better. There's immense strength in vulnerability. By acknowledging your grief, you open the door to healing and eventually, finding peace with your loss.
