Can grief be a good thing? Recently, I participated in the Toastmasters International Speech Competition. The title of my speech: âGood Grief!â
With all of the losses we all have incurred during the pandemic, we may not recognize we are grieving â a lot. Using Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Rossâ model of the Five Stages of Grief, I talk about how to recognize grief. The key is that we need to allow ourselves to feel what many consider ânegativeâ emotions.
Hereâs the speech, followed by the text. I hope it helps you understand and feel better about all the challenges we are facing.

The titles of both articles are very confusing as it gives an inaccurate picture of the true statement made during the press conference, said.
He said the two reports gave the impression that the Deputy IGP had conveyed that the rape threat might be a joke .
A video shows a Holiday Inn Express worker beating himself in the head, smashing his head against a computer monitor, but being careful to ensure his face mask didn’t slip during a confrontation with a customer.

The overwhelming reaction to the video has centered around the comments of the person who made it go viral on Twitter, Tariq Nasheed, self-proclaimed “world’s #1 Race Baiter.”
Nasheed immediately made the clip about race, tweeting, “A white Holiday Inn Express worker has a nervous breakdown after he got scolded by a Black customer because of a mistake in the reservation system.”
