————————————————————————————————————
The best comedians of the Pathe players are cast in this picture, and the result is excellent. A widow and a widower meet at the graves of their dear departed, fall in love, and in the end send the portraits of the defunct to the storage room. There is human nature in the story and able comedy interpretation in the acting. (The New York Dramatic Mirror, 17.10.1908)

Weitere Filmbeschreibungen/Kritiken:
A highly novel skit is issued by Pathe's under the title Two Great Griefs. Here we have a disconsolate wife and a disconsolate husband who meet to shed tears on the graves of their departed husband and wife respectively. From continually meeting in the performance of this rite they came to make each other's acquaintance and get friendly and yet more friendly until they decide to share their sorrows. They marry and we see that the departed ones are soon banished from remembrance. (Kinematograph and Lantern Weekly, 18.6.1908)
