Life of an Empath: Grief Through Deaths' Eyes is a series of interviews by Buttercup the unicorn with Death and many deities that represent death. Throughout the interviews, we see Death and these different entities open up about their view of grief along with their own personal grieving. Whether it be a loss of a loved one, one's lifestyle, a part of one's soul, relationship, or seeing the beautiful side of grief, we all have different coping mechanisms. Grief is for the living and no one should be told how to grieve, but perhaps these insights may be able to help someone dealing with or understanding their grief. Death isn't the scary monster we think she might be, let's hear her side of the story.
