Good Grief

Herzwesten is back for another collaboration, this time with a relatively small and approachable variety cryptic. We hope you enjoy!

Many thanks to skaldskaparmal and juff (both excellent cryptic thinkers, solvers, and makers) for their helpful feedback!

*Instructions:

The final answer to this puzzle must be entered in the barred box.

The circled letters (reading by column: left to right, and then top to bottom), will give you the key to reading the final answer (in the same order as the circled letters).

You will also need to enter more than one letter in some squares.
