Summary
This quote suggests that grief does not fundamentally alter one's identity, but rather exposes one's true self. It implies that when faced with loss or suffering, suppressed aspects of a person's character come to light. In times of grief, people may unveil their vulnerability, resilience, or hidden emotions. Rather than transforming individuals, grief acts as a catalyst, shedding light on their authentic nature and displaying who they truly are beneath the surface.
