Grief doesn't have a plot. It isn't smooth. There is no beginning and middle and end.

Grief is exhausting.

Grief comes and goes, but depression is unremitting.

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

Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.

Grief is characterized much more by waves of feeling that lessen and reoccur, it's less like stages and more like different states of feeling.

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

Grief is at once a public and a private experience. One's inner, inexpressible disruption cannot be fully realized in one's public persona.

Grief is like a moving river, so that's what I mean by it's always changing. It's a strange thing to say because I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
