Mourning is complicated and confusing. Many cultures have guidelines that are understood, and you know what to wear, how to act, and how long until life should go back to normal (for instance, the practice of "sitting Shiva.") But in America, it isn't like that. Expectations are amorphous, and sometimes you don't know if you're allowed to mourn at all.
My challenge is the following: write a character who is mourning something that is not a person.
Bonus points if their personal mourning process includes singing, goblins or machine guns.
