How to write grief — without being boring, basic, or emotionally beige

1- Grief isn’t a one-scene thing

don’t write them sobbing in chapter 12 and ✨totally fine✨ by chapter 13.

that’s not grief, that’s emotional whiplash.

grief is a slow burn. a background buzz.

it hits in quiet moments—like finding their handwriting or hoodie.

☕️ silence + routine = pain

2. crying is optional

newsflash: people grieve in weird ways.

some cry. some laugh. some make pancakes at 3AM and stare into the void.

some say “i’m fine” while making wildly self-destructive life choices.

(spoiler: they are NOT fine.)

🥞 + overthinking = grief

3. grief changes people

maybe they used to be kind. now they’re sharp.

maybe they were outgoing. now they ghost everyone.

grief isn’t just sadness. it’s a plot twist.

🌀 grief = character development in pain-flavored packaging

4. Avoid cliché city

if you write “a single tear rolled down their cheek,”

i will personally haunt your drafts.

instead:

“they blinked too hard and the tears broke free like they’d been waiting all day for an exit.”

✍️ be poetic, not predictable

5. Grief lives in the little things

• setting the table for someone who’s not coming

• hearing their laugh in a stranger’s voice

• keeping their phone charged

• not deleting their playlist

it’s the quiet stuff that hits the hardest.

🫖 tiny detail = emotional chaos

bonus challenge:

write a scene where your character pretends they’re over it…

but their actions say otherwise.

(bonus points if the reader can tell but the other characters can’t.)

grief doesn’t end when the funeral does. Write it like a ghost that keeps showing up. Even when your character swears they’re fine.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.

so I was explaining to the kids in my class that anything that ends in -us’s plural form is “-i”. they all processed it in silence until five minutes later, one goes, “walri?”

i just.
