Grief

"But grief makes a monster out of us sometimes . . . and sometimes you say and do things to the people you love that you can't forgive yourself for."

"Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."

"We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world--the company of those who have known suffering."

"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."

"Grief makes one hour ten."

"Instead of weeping when a tragedy occurs in a songbird's life, it sings away its grief. I believe we could well follow the pattern of our feathered friends."

"Guilt is a luxury that we can no longer afford."

"Making a big life change is pretty scary. But know what's even scarier? Regret."

"Make space to feel both grief and gratitude."

"To weep is to make less the depth of grief."

"But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more."

"Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart."
