From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha

I had a feeling of hopelessness, grief, and a sense of emptiness, and even if I knew the body to be dead I felt that the personality was still within, aware and listening to me.
Brian Masters
-
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less; Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
William Shakespeare

A woman of the world should always be the mistress of sorrow and not its servant. She may have a grief but never a grievance.
Elsie de Wolfe

Most people deal with grief in an awkward way, and that can be funny.
John Cho

None of us get to divorce ourselves from the world. We walk into the theater and bring all of our grief and our pain and our joy with us.
Leslie Odom, Jr.

There are those, however, that are not frightened of grief: dropping deep into the sorrow, they find therein a necessary elixir to the numbness. When they encounter one another, when they press their foreheads against the bark of a centuries-old tree...their eyes well with tears that fall easily to the ground. The soil needs this water. Grief is but a gate, and our tears a kind of key opening a place of wonder thats been locked away. Suddenly we notice a sustaining resonance between the drumming heart within our chest and the pulse rising from the ground
David Abram

She knew what such grief was like and she had built her own defenses high over the years. But if you raised them too much, they became a prison and in the end you drowned with no one to hear you scream.
Elizabeth Chadwick

Meanwhile, the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain. She might have seen that what had bowed her head so profoundly -the thought of the world's concern at her situation- was found on an illusion. She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself.
Thomas Hardy
-
If it were possible to heal sorrow by weeping and to raise the dead with tears, gold were less prized than grief.
Sophocles
-
Grief is like the wind. When it's blowing hard, you adjust your sails and run before it. If it blows too hard, you stay in the harbor, close the hatches and don't take calls. When it's gentle, you go sailing, have a picnic, take a swim.
Barbara Lazear Ascher
-
Television has never known what to do with grief, which resists narrative: the dramas of grief are largely internal - for the bereaved, it is a chaotic, intense, episodic period, but the chaos is by and large subterranean, and easily appears static to the friendly onlooker who has absorbed the fact of loss and moved on.
Meghan O'Rourke
-
Grief, for me, is a moment-to-moment experience.
Yance Ford
-
Grief was a terrible and beautiful thing.
Benjamin Alire Saenz
