How to use grieving in a sentence?

1. Francie Chapman:

   Dog and I had our chance to say our goodbyes to Bob and Beth when they were sick, and we knew that they were going home, we got closure -- even though we still had to go through the grieving process, and we still had the heartbreak and the picking our lives backup -- we got to say goodbye.

2. Aneelah Afzali:

   Here I was, grieving like other Americans for those killed and their family and loved ones -- but unlike other Americans, I knew American Muslims could not simply grieve, even though American Muslims were killed in the attacks, and American Muslims were part of the frontline workers risking American Muslims lives to try to save so many in New York and beyond, American Muslims were still being demonized and collectively blamed. And American Muslims broke my heart.

3. New York:

   Rather than championing shutdowns, she’s spent much of her energy, both in public and behind the scenes, trying to get schools open. And she’s been trying, sometimes uncomfortably, to act as a mediator between desperate parents grieving their kids’ interrupted educations and beleaguered teachers who feel they’re being blamed for a calamity they didn’t create.

4. Frank Siller:

   When the dust settles, everybody goes home and these families are left, they are grieving and they get on with life without their loved ones, and we want to make sure we are going to be there for them long afterward.

5. Martin Dolan:

   Occasionally, I think it keeps me awake at nights because I know that there are a range of families who are still grieving the loss of their loved ones and have no certainty about what happened, and we collectively bear a large responsibility for that.
