This chapter argues that, for the Epicurean, grief at the death of a loved one is, contrary to what is often assumed to be Epicurean orthodoxy, natural and therefore philosophically valid. What Epicurean ethics rejects in the management of emotion is not natural grief, which is not contrary to reason, but anything based on a false belief, for example, that grief is eternal, or that the dead continue to suffer—and these false beliefs are the fount of all evil.
