“Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.”
Anne Grant

“Sorrows cannot all be explained away in a life truly lived, grief and loss accumulate like possessions.”
Stefan Kanfer
“Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.”
Walker Percy
“Sydney discovers that she minds the loss of her mourning. When she grieved, she felt herself to be intimately connected to Daniel. But with each passing day, he floats away from her. When she thinks about him now, it is more as a lost possibility than as a man. She has forgotten his breath, his musculature”
Anita Shreve
“We talk about the tasks of grief. Emotionally, we have to acknowledge the loss. The second task is to experience the pain. What happens when you are going through a trial, you are still in the pain. Hearing the graphic testimony is like taking a razor blade and slitting open a scar. Initially, with a shocking death like that, you go numb right away, and a year later, you hear the details, you are more aware.”
Eileen Schmidt
“Ryan's friends are so stricken with grief. I don't think they'd ever want to inflict that loss on another person.”
