By Stefanie Stahl and Lukas Klaschinski
Lukas Klaschinski: Grief is something we will all feel in our lives. We all move to a place we mourn at some point. In love, sooner or later we will all lose the one we love because someone breaks up with us or because we break up. And we will all lose important people in our lives because they will die. Grief is above all a state. More than just a feeling of being alone, it is like a roof under which many feelings come together. We can feel guilt, anger, a feeling of emptiness, but also a loss of control. So it’s a big hodgepodge. Steffi, when in your life did you have to go through great sadness?
