Grief is exhausting. When you learn - maybe through my age or experience - trying to harness the energy, whatever it is, muted energy or a concentration to find yourself in a place? You try to use it for when it's really necessary and can arrive.

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

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

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

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

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

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

No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.

The thing about grief is that it's a roller coaster - it's up, it's down. The emotions sometimes take over.
