Grief Quotes
-
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas -
I'm working on forgiving myself for some not-so-hot choices I've made in my life. I neglected two people I loved dearly. They are both dead now and I obviously can do nothing to repair or change that, and I grieve every day for those choices. That grief can be paralyzing, but it has made me understand the pain of holding on to unfinished business. In my case, I had put work first. I will never do that again. Having made that choice, I find the grief in my heart finally abating. Now I teach the need to forgive yourself and others relentlessly.

There's a deep affection and respect for the Queen and the monarchy in the U.K. But Diana was an extraordinary, iconic figure and her death sparked a fierce reaction, part grief and part anger at her being taken away. It was very fraught.
Tony Blair -
Grief is as contagious as a yawn.
Sue Grafton -
Grief is good...it is a sign of how well we have loved.
Elizabeth Lesser -
No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.
Michael Sheen -
There is no more ridiculous custom than the one that makes you express sympathy once and for all on a given day to a person whose sorrow will endure as long as his life. Such grief, felt in such a way is always present, it is never too late to talk about it, never repetitious to mention it again.
Marcel Proust -
Anger is so much easier than grief.
Brenda Novak
-
Readers will always insist on adventures, and though you can have grief without adventures, you cannot have adventures without grief.
Catherynne M. Valente -
But, really, grief left a hole in you, and while you healed around the hole, you never didn't have it. A piece of you was gone. You couldn't heal something that wasn't there.
Beth Revis -
Grief is an expression that you loved well.
Elizabeth Lesser -
I think people become environmentalists through experiences of beauty and grief. There was that pond that you visited when you were a child, and there were frogs and turtles. You go back there and it's dead now. The forest you went to, now there are bulldozers, now it's a strip mall. These experiences of beauty followed by grief affect us more than learning that CO2 levels are now 400 parts per million.
Charles Eisenstein -
grief is an illness I can't recover from.
Sue Grafton -
No one's ever completely broken. It's just a matter of how much has to fall apart before the ember of life is exposed to air.
Charles Eisenstein
