Grief brims itself and flows away in tears.

No one is exempt from grief.

Grief is the price Love pays for being in the same world with Death.

Grief hallows hearts, even while it ages heads.

Bereavement is the deepest initiation into the mysteries of human life, an initiation more searching and profound than even happy love.

I lost my husband, and it's a horrific thing to live through.

If you no longer live, if you my beloved, my love, if you have died, all the leaves will fall in my breast, it will rain in my soul night and day, the snow will burn my heart, I shall walk with frost and fire and death and snow, my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping, but I shall live

I never know what to tell them. I mean, there's nothing you can say to make a person stop hurting. Half the time, I just feel like telling them the truth. I'd say that for 3 months, you're going to feel worse than you've ever felt and you cope as best you can. And that after 6 months, the pain isn't so bad, but it still hurts more than you think it will. And even after years, you still find yourself thinking about the person you lost and get sad about it. And you still miss them all the time.

Bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.

This is what you should know about losing someone you love. They do not travel alone. You go with them.

My heart burnt within me with indignation and grief; we could think of nothing else. All night long we had only snatches of sleep, waking up perpetually to the sense of a great shock and grief. Every one is feeling the same. I never knew so universal a feeling.

Obviously, at this age, I've lost people in my life. But with a parent, it's just different. I was very attached to my father and had this naive little-girl notion that he'd always be around. So I'm finding acceptance of my father's death is the hardest thing to accept.

Grief is the price we pay for love.
