There’s no magical healing in this. I won’t wake up tomorrow fixed and joyful. I’ll still hurt and grieve. But moments like this, with Colton? They make it all bearable. He doesn't fix me, doesn't heal me. He just makes life worthwhile. He helps me remember to breathe, shows me how to smile again. He kisses me, and I can forget pain, forget the urges I still have to cut for the pain that erases the emotions.

Jasinda Wilder

God does not require a perfect, sinless life to have fellowship with Him, but He does require that we be serious about holiness, that we grieve over sin in our lives instead of justifying it, and that we earnestly pursue holiness as a way of life.

Jerry Bridges

Do not grieve when something good ends, be glad that it happened.

Jeffrey Fry

To maintain an ignorance of oneself, is to grieve for the absolution of life.

R.W. Erskine

It does not matter what I believe. The past is done. Hope is irrelevant. We measure success and failure in history with a cost of lives. Penicillin saved people, and the world wars exterminated them. Success and failure. Feelings, regrets, the point where they knew they made mistakes...it is interesting but unfortunately, irrelevant. Did they go to their death and grieve for what they did? Did the makers of the atomic bomb grieve for the destruction they dedicated their lives towards creating? Who cares? They did it. Whether they knew what they were creating, or whether they talked themselves into believing it was for the best, the glory of history is being able to view it in black-and-white. However honorable one's initial intention, a villain will always be a villain.

Caroline Hanson

Mourn with those who are sorrowful.Be happy with those who are joyful.

Lailah Gifty Akita

There are some griefs so loudThey could bring down the sky,And there are griefs so stillNone knows how deep they lie,Endured, never expended.There are old griefs so proudThey never speak a word;They never can be mended.And these nourish the willAnd keep it iron-hard.

May Sarton

They say that animals are incapable of feelings and reasoning. This is false. No living thing on earth is void of either. They also say that man is the most intelligent — and the most superior — species on earth. This is also false. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It has been shown that both rats and monkeys learn from making errors, yet we have not. Our history proves this. All creatures on earth have the capacity to love and grieve the same way we do. No life on the planet is more deserving than another. Those who think so, are the true savages.

Do not grieve so much for a husband lost that it wastes away your life.

Euripides

His absence seemed a solid thing, a burden I must carry in addition to my grief... Yet I knew I would continue to live. Sometimes that knowledge seemed the worst part of my loss.

Robin Hobb

The God I serve is able to save us both. To give us the winning lottery ticket so all our money problems will go away. To mend our broken hearts. To bring us close to those we love. He is able. He is able. He is able.But even if He doesn’t, do not bow to bitterness. Do not fall down onto your broken pieces and let them cut you to ribbons. Even if He doesn’t do all that He is able to do, all that we wish He would do, He is good.

Anna White

When gorillas smell danger, they run around and call out to the rest of the primates in the jungle to warn them something evil is coming. And when one of their own dies, they mourn for days while beating themselves up in sadness for failing to save that gorilla, even if the cause of death was natural. And when one colony is mourning, their chilling echoes migrate to other colonies — and those neighbors, even if they are territorial rivals, will also grieve with them. When faced with a common danger, rivals turn into allies. And when faced with death, the loss of just one gorilla becomes the loss of the entire jungle.

Suzy Kassem

Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.

Cassandra Clare

The sorrow we feel when we lose a loved one is the price we pay to have had them in our lives.

Rob Liano

Sadness grieves the spirit. But sorrow refines soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The present is too often squandered grieving the past or fearing the future, which makes the present nothing more than a cheap facsimile of what was or what will be instead of what it could be.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

ITS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE,WHEN U ARE IN GRIEVE,WHEN U THINK TO LEAVE,IN FUTURE U WILL ACHIEVE,TOMORROW WILL BE AN EVE.

No truth can cure the sadness we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness, can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see that sadness through to the end andlearn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sadness that comes to us without warning.

Haruki Murakami

عوامل عدة تسبب الحزن، لكننا نحن نصنع الفرح.... لنستمتع بالحياةGrieve caused by factors, joy is made by us… we should enjoy life

Wafaa Nowaihed

It is the capacity to feel consuming grief and pain and despair that also allows me to embrace love and joy and beauty with my whole heart. I must let it all in.

Anna White

You can’t truly heal from a loss until you allow yourself to really FEEL the loss.

Mandy Hale

In trying moments, you must keep trying... In grieving times, don't think of giving up! Employ your passion to work; something great to enjoy is approaching!

Israelmore Ayivor

What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve about.

James Hadley Chase

Maybe that's what writers do-Maybe they exaggerate pain just so that you feel okay about what you're feeling.

Sanhita Baruah

You need to keep hurting until you realise you never needed to hurt in the first place.

Kamand Kojouri

Had life not given me reasons to grieve, I would never have known the healing power of a hug.

Richelle E. Goodrich

We need to eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, religion, and nationality. Every human requires food and water to survive and every human has a heart that bleeds, loves, and grieves.

Suzy Kassem

Grief, no matter how you try to cater to its wail, has a way of fading away.
