Quote #1

Her pain is inside of her like a heavy stone that has been laid on her chest. Guilt, loss, betrayal. (1.82)

Pressia's guilty for saving Bradwell, she's lost her mother and grandfather, and she's been betrayed by the Dome. Ouch, talk about pain.

Quote #2

It's like being on tour with his father's urn—a grief tour. (2.8)

Here, Partridge actually has to pretend to be suffering. This "grief tour" is for his father, the man he killed. So he's not really grieving for his father at all.

Quote #3

The grief comes at him like an assembly line […] His own sadness is so fraught with anger that it barely counts as grief, so he has to accept theirs. (4.1)

Partridge is sad at his father's funeral. He's sad because now he has no one left; his father killed his mother, and then he killed his father. What a family.
