When it is darkest, we can see the stars. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are three inevitable things we are all going to deal with: Death, Taxes, and Challenges. No one lives a problem-free life, and we are all going to DIE. Life would happen to us all; it is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when. You are either going into a storm, going through a new storm, or coming out of a storm. We lose a loved one; we get laid off from a job; we deal with infertility; we get diagnosed with a terminal illness; we get disappointed; we get divorced; we get heartbroken. It is tough going through the challenges and vicissitudes of life, and in these trying times, we expect our family and friends to be there for us, but most times, they are not equipped to help us navigate the challenges of grief.
Here are some great quotes of grieving:
- “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” — Helen Keller
- “The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.” — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
- “Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.” — Leo Tolstoy
- “Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.” — Orson Scott Card
- “The pain passes, but the beauty remains.” — Henri Mattise
- Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom. – RUMI
- Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don’t disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms. – Paulo Coelho
- While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it. – Samuel Johnson
- Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. – Marcel Proust
- What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.- Aleister Crowley
You learn not to mourn every little thing out here, or you’d never, ever stop grieving.- Alexandra Fuller
- Man, when he does not grieve, hardly exists.- Antonio Porchia
- Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it.- Arthur Golden
- To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don’t even know how to begin to grieve, and I don’t know how you can be taught to grieve.- Charlotte Rampling
- Grieving doesn’t make you imperfect. It makes you human. — Sarah Dessen

- Grit your teeth and let it hurt. Don’t deny it, don’t be overwhelmed by it. It will not last forever. — Rabbi Harold Kushner
- All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. ~ Havelock Ellis
- Make the most of your regrets; Never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it ’til it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.~ Henry David Thoreau
- What separates us from animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.~ David Levithan
- The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? ~ Edgar Allan Poe
- When people are grieving, it’s kind of like a storm, and you need something to grab onto, but often you have to brave it on your own. – Clare Bowen
- When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways–either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.- Dalai Lama
- No one can keep his griefs in their prime; they use themselves up. – Emile M. Cioran
He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.- Elbert Hubbard
- Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim. – Vicki Harrison
- Grief is so human, and it hits everyone at one point or another, at least, in their lives. If you love, you will grieve, and that’s just given. – Kay Redfield Jamison
- Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. – Haruki Murakami
