Examples of grieving in a Sentence

1. The DOJ:

   Even worse, Governor Cuomo in New York intentionally tried to cover up the true death toll resulting from his mandate. Grieving families deserve answers and accountability.

2. Leonard Carollo:

   These two women preyed on vulnerable victims who turned to them in a time of grief and sadness. But instead of offering guidance, these greedy women betrayed the trust of hundreds of victims and mutilated their loved ones, without knowledge or consent, the women disrespected the wishes of the grieving victims and degraded the bodies of their family members to sell them for profit.

3. Aneelah Afzali:

And American Muslims broke my heart.

5. Barack Obama:
