I think anger is so much easier than pain. There's always temptation to funnel our energy into anger because it's clean and uncomplicated. Anger has a clear target and all you have to do is lash out at it or shun it. With grief you have to admit the loss is permanent.

If there's one thing I learned in becoming an adult, it's that adults don't act like adults, at least not like the way we were taught as kids: responsible caring people who support one another. That's the ideal, but not the reality.
