griefless

/ˈɡɹifləs/ adj

Without grief; ungrieving.

Word Origin From grief (from Latin 'gravis' meaning 'heavy, weighty, burdensome') + -less (from Old English 'leas' meaning 'without') — so griefless means 'without grief.' Gravis gives us grief, grieve, grievance, grievous, aggravate, and grave (serious). The idea: grief is a heavy burden, and griefless is the lightness of being without it. The breakdown grief+less: unburdened.
