But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone.

Perhaps grief is not about empty, but full. The full breath of life that includes death. The completeness, the cycles, the depth, the richness, the process, the continuity and the treasure of the moment that is gone the second you are aware of it.

One feels as if it could never, never be less. And yet all griefs, when there is no bitterness in them, are soothed down by time.

Acknowledgment of grief - well, it makes feeling the grief easier, not harder.

There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

Grief jumps out at you when you're least expecting it.

I don't move away from grief, rather through it.

Tears are the silent language of grief.

Grief releases love and it also instills a profound sense of connection.
