For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
To mourn is to wonder at the strangeness that grief is not written all over your face in bruised hieroglyphics. And it's also to feel, quite powerfully, that you're not allowed to descend into the deepest fathom of your grief - that to do so would be taboo somehow.
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
I don't move away from grief, rather through it.
Some of us only meet in the most fleeting moments; some of us never meet, but still hear about one another and therefore cherish what we know from what we've heard, and mourn the loss, even though we're spared what the close-loved ones must endure - the ongoing pain of an empty place in the heart for the rest of life.
When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.
