Unraveling Darkness: How Kyle Kouri’s The Problem Drinker Reveals the Hidden Struggles Behind Addiction
There’s also the chapter titled “The Grief Song,” which begins with a resonating and true observation: “Of all our failures in America this one is perhaps the worst: we don’t know how to grieve.” I have written and continue to write thousands of words on this topic alone, from the lack of true grief leave from our jobs to the crushing inability of parents to foster healthy grieving behaviors in their offspring. Americans are mocked for their empty smiles, but worse than their vapidity, those smiles carry the burden of grief evasion. Kouri went on, a page later, to share a sentiment I can also inhabit: “Because the truth, at least for me, is that experiencing death young didn’t make anything better for me, didn’t make me stronger, it just sucked.”
